Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Reales (small type) coin from Chile is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in the country. The coin was introduced in 1843, just a few years after Chile gained independence from Spain, and it was used as a standard circulation coin until 1852. During this time, Chile was undergoing rapid modernization and economic growth, and the coin played an important role in facilitating trade and commerce. Despite its relatively small size and value, the coin is a fascinating piece of history that provides a glimpse into Chile's rich cultural and economic heritage.
