That all changed in \u003cbr\u003e\n1821. With Mexican independence, the frontier territories opened up to trade. \u003cbr\u003e\nWilliam Becknell, an American freight operator, established the famed Santa Fe \u003cbr\u003e\nTrail that same year, blazing a path to the eponymous Sante Fe from his base of \u003cbr\u003e\noperations in Franklin, Missouri. 2021 marks the 200th anniversary of the Santa \u003cbr\u003e\nFe Trail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the early days of the United States—before the establishment of the mint \u003cbr\u003e\nand the creation of the dollar—the coins circulating in the country were \u003cbr\u003e\npredominately milled Spanish silver. These reales were used along the Santa Fe \u003cbr\u003e\nTrail, and were legal tender in the U.S. until 1857. This is a genuine silver half \u003cbr\u003e\nreales coin of the kind that circulated in the territory that is now the United States \u003cbr\u003e\nfrom 1772-1821.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CoinsTV","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45262659944737,"sku":"CTV001677","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9891\/7153\/products\/santafeclrboxf.jpg?v=1685060818","url":"https:\/\/dev-coinstv.myshopify.com\/products\/santa-fe-trail-clear-box","provider":"dev-coinstv","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
