Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Reales (Vicente Guerrero - Insurgent countermarked coinage) ND (1816-1821) from Mexico made of Silver is that it was minted during the Mexican War of Independence, specifically in the year 1816, and was used as a form of currency by the insurgent forces fighting against the Spanish colonial rule. The coin features the image of Vicente Guerrero, a prominent leader of the independence movement, on one side, and the Mexican eagle on the other. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the struggle for independence and the hope for a free and sovereign Mexico.
