Interesting fact
The 2 Reales coin from Mexico, issued during the reign of Agustín I (1822-1823), features an interesting design element - the national coat of arms on the reverse side, which includes an eagle devouring a snake. This symbolism represents Mexico's struggle for independence from Spanish rule and is a powerful expression of national pride.
