Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Real coin from Peru made of Silver (.931) is that it was minted during the reign of Charles II, who was the last Habsburg king of Spain and the first king of Spain to be born in the Americas. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign to help finance the Spanish military campaigns in the Americas. Despite being minted in Peru, the coin features the image of Charles II and the inscription "Carolus II Dei Gratia" (Charles II, by the grace of God), reflecting the Spanish influence on the region's currency.
