Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Reales (LCM - Royalist countermarked coinage) ND (1809-1822) from Mexico is that it was minted during the Mexican War of Independence against Spain. The coin features the royal crown and the letters "CF" (Carolus Felix) on one side, and the Mexican eagle on the other. The countermark "LCM" (Leal Casa de la Moneda) was added to the coin to indicate that it was minted by the loyalist forces of the Spanish crown, as opposed to the insurgent forces who were fighting for independence. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of Mexican history, and its unique design reflects the complex political landscape of the time.
