Interesting fact
The 2 Reales coin from Mexico, minted in 1811, is interesting because it features a unique countermark, known as the "CMS" (Casa de Moneda de México) and an eagle countermark, which was added to the coin as a way to verify its authenticity and value. This coin was made of silver, which was a common material used for coins during that time period.
