NOTE: Formerly KM#12Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Reales coin from New Spain (Mexico) made of Silver (.931) weighing 6.8 g is that it was used as a form of currency during the Spanish colonial period in Mexico, and it was also used in trade with other countries, including China and the Philippines.
