Interesting fact
The 2 Reales coin from Mexico, minted in 1811, is interesting because it features a unique countermark, known as the "MdS" (Mexico City Mint) and "Eagle SCM" (Superintendency of the Mint) countermark, which was applied to the coin to verify its authenticity and value. This countermark was used during the Spanish colonial period in Mexico and is a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
