Interesting fact
The 8 Reales coin from Argentina, issued in 1813, has an interesting feature. It has a unique "Countermark" on the reverse side, which is a small stamp that was added to the coin after it was minted. The countermark is a letter "A" surrounded by a wreath, and it was added to indicate that the coin was valid for circulation in the provinces of the Rio de la Plata region. This feature was implemented to prevent counterfeiting and to ensure the authenticity of the coin.
