Interesting fact
The 8 Reales coin from Colombia, minted between 1834 and 1836, features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "F.A." inside, which stands for "Federal Army." This indicates that the coin was minted during a time of political turmoil in Colombia, when the country was experiencing a civil war between the conservative and liberal factions. The inclusion of this shield symbolizes the coin's connection to the federalist movement and the struggle for a unified Colombia.
