Interesting fact
The 8 Reales 1846 coin from Ecuador was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in the country. The coin was issued as part of a decimalization effort aimed at replacing the old Spanish colonial system of currency, which was based on the peso, with a new system based on the real. Despite the challenges of the time, the 8 Reales coin remained in circulation for several decades and is now a sought-after collector's item.
