Interesting fact
The 2 Reales coin from Colombia, minted during the reign of Philip V (1714-1725), was part of a series of coins known as the "Piezas de a Dos" or "Two-Reales Coins." These coins were minted in various Spanish colonies in the Americas and were used as a standard unit of currency throughout the Spanish Empire. The fact that this coin was made of silver (.931) and weighs 6.7668 grams suggests that it was a significant denomination and was likely used for larger transactions.
