Interesting fact
The 4 Reales 1862 coin from Ecuador made of Silver (.666) weighing 13.43 g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the time of the Ecuadorian Civil War (1859-1860), which was a conflict between the conservative forces of the Catholic Church and the liberal forces of the government. Despite the political instability, the coin was still widely used as a medium of exchange and played an important role in the country's economy.
