Interesting fact
The 2 Reales coin from Ecuador, minted between 1837 and 1838, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of silver (.666), it was designed with a unique weight of 6.1 grams, which is slightly heavier than the standard weight for coins of its denomination. This anomaly was likely intentional, as it may have served a specific purpose or been a result of a minting error. Regardless of the reason, it adds a fascinating aspect to the coin's history and makes it stand out among other coins of its kind.
