Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Argentina. The 1826-1837 period saw the country struggle for independence from Spain, and the coin's design reflects this turmoil, featuring a depiction of the Spanish king on one side and the Argentine coat of arms on the other. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's composition was a deliberate choice to assert Argentina's economic independence from Spain, as the country sought to establish its own currency and monetary system.
