Comment
Considered a Medal, but due to being similar in size and material to the 2 Reales coins it was adopted as currency at the start of the Republic.Interesting fact
The 2 Reales 1837 coin from Guatemala made of Silver weighing 6.8 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Guatemala, when the country was experiencing civil wars and political instability. Despite these challenges, the coin was still widely used as a form of currency, highlighting the resilience and resourcefulness of the Guatemalan people during difficult times.
