Interesting fact
The 2 Reales 1880 coin from Colombia made of Silver (.835) weighing 5g is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Colombia. The country was experiencing a period of civil war and political instability, which led to the establishment of the United States of Colombia in 1861. Despite these challenges, the country continued to mint coins, including the 2 Reales coin, which was used as a means of currency for everyday transactions. This coin is a tangible reminder of Colombia's rich history and its resilience in the face of adversity.
