Countermark on Spanish (Madrid) 2 Reales, KM#460.2.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in Cuba. The 1814-1833 period saw the island nation transition from a Spanish colony to a Spanish province, and the coin's countermark reflects this shift in power. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's composition was a common practice during this time period, but it was later replaced by copper due to the decreasing value of silver.
