Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1825 2 Reales coin from Vieques Island (Puerto Rico) is that it features a unique counterstamp, which was applied by the local government to confirm its authenticity and value. This counterstamp is a small letter "V" stamped on the coin's reverse side, indicating that it was issued by the Vieques Island authorities. This feature makes the coin particularly valuable to collectors and numismatists, as it highlights the coin's historical significance and regional importance.
