Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic turmoil in Argentina. The country had just declared its independence from Spain in 1816, and the government was struggling to establish a stable economy. The minting of this coin was a significant event, as it helped to establish a national currency and promote trade within the newly independent nation.
