Comment
Host coin: Central American Republic 2 Reales KM#24Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Reales (Type VII Countermark) ND (1849-1857) from Costa Rica is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in the country. The coin was issued during the administration of President Juan Rafael Mora Porras, who was facing a severe economic crisis and struggled to maintain stability in the country. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of Costa Rican history and a sought-after collector's item.
