Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 4 Reales 1847 coin from Córdoba (Argentine provinces) is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual depiction of a national symbol or leader, the coin bears an image of the Andes mountain range, which is a rare sight on Argentine coins. This design choice was made to commemorate the country's rich natural resources and the beauty of its landscape.
