Host coin KM#168Interesting fact
The 2 Reales coin from Mexico, issued in 1812, has an interesting history. It was part of a series of coins that were countermarked by the insurgent government of Mexico during their fight for independence from Spain. The coin features the symbol "NORTE" (meaning "north" in Spanish) on one side, which was used by the insurgents to indicate their support for the northern region of Mexico. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of Mexican history, and its unique design makes it stand out among other coins from the same time period.
