Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Reales coin from El Salvador is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the country. The provisional government of El Salvador issued this coin in 1832-1834, while the country was still part of the Federal Republic of Central America. This coin was minted as a temporary solution to address the lack of currency in circulation, and it was not widely accepted outside of El Salvador. Despite its limited use, the 2 Reales coin remains a unique piece of history for numismatists and collectors.
