Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Decimos Real coin from Buenos Aires (Argentine provinces) made of Copper weighing 24.1g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Argentina. The coin was issued in 1827, just a few years after Argentina declared its independence from Spain in 1816. The country was facing economic challenges, including inflation and a lack of a stable currency, which led to the introduction of the Decimo Real coin, of which the 20 Decimos Real coin was a subset. This coin was an important step towards establishing a stable currency system in Argentina and it played a significant role in the country's economic development during that time.
