Interesting fact

The 4 Soles coin from La Rioja (Argentine provinces) made of Silver weighing 13.53g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the time of the Argentine Confederation, which was a short-lived political entity that existed from 1831 to 1852. This coin was one of the few coins minted during that time and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
