Interesting fact
The ½ Real coin from Charles III 1760 Chile is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Chile. The country was in the process of gaining independence from Spain, and the coin's design reflects this shift. The obverse side features an image of Charles III, the Spanish king, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of Chile, which was a new design introduced during this time period. This coin is a unique piece of history that captures the transition of Chile from a Spanish colony to an independent nation.
