Comment
Countermark on Spanish (Madrid) 4 Reales, KM#562.2.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Cuba. The 1820s saw a significant decline in the island's economy, due to a combination of factors such as the decline of the sugar industry, the abolition of slavery, and political instability. Despite these challenges, the Cuban government continued to mint coins, including the 4 Reales coin, which was used as a means of exchange and a symbol of national identity.
