Interesting fact
The 2 Reales (Popayan) 1813 coin from the City of Popayán (Colombian states) is interesting because it was minted during a time of political and economic turmoil in Colombia. The country was fighting for independence from Spain, and the minting of coins was a way for the government to raise funds for the war effort. Despite the challenges, the coin was made with high-quality copper, indicating the importance of trade and commerce during this time period.
