Interesting fact
The 2 Reales 1862 coin from Ecuador made of Silver (.666) weighing 6.76 g is interesting because it was minted during a time when Ecuador was part of the Gran Colombia, a short-lived republic that also included present-day Colombia, Venezuela, and Panama. This coin was one of the few coins minted by Ecuador during this time, making it a rare and unique piece of numismatic history.
