Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Reales coin from Ecuador is that it was minted during a time of economic and political instability in the country. The coin was introduced in 1841, and its production continued until 1843, during which time Ecuador was experiencing a period of political turmoil, including the overthrow of the government and the establishment of a new constitution. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency throughout the country.
