Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Reales 1844 coin from Córdoba (Argentine provinces) is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Argentina. The country was facing high inflation and political instability, which led to the adoption of a new currency, the peso, in 1854. As a result, coins like the 4 Reales 1844 became obsolete and were no longer used in circulation. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable collector's item and a piece of Argentine history.
