Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Reales coin from Córdoba (Argentine provinces) made of Silver (.750) weighing 6.45 g is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Argentina. The country was facing high inflation and political instability, which led to the adoption of a new currency, the peso, in 1854. As a result, the 2 Reales coin was only minted for a short period of time, making it a rare and valuable collector's item today.
