Interesting fact
The 2 Reales coin from the State of Oaxaca, minted between 1813 and 1814, is interesting because it was produced during a time of political and social upheaval in Mexico. The coin was minted by the insurgent government of Oaxaca, which had declared independence from Spain in 1811. The coin's design features the image of a liberty cap, symbolizing the struggle for freedom and independence. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin was still made of silver, indicating the value and importance of the metal in the region.
