Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Reales 1846 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 1846 became obsolete and were taken out of circulation. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
