Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1811 Zacatecas 2 Reales coin is that it was minted during the Mexican War of Independence, which lasted from 1810 to 1821. The coin was issued by the Spanish Royalist forces who controlled the state of Zacatecas at the time, and it features the image of King Ferdinand VII on one side and the Spanish coat of arms on the other. Despite being minted during a time of conflict, the coin was still made of silver (.903), indicating the value and importance of the metal in the region.
