Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Real coin from Chile featuring Charles IV is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the country. The coin was minted between 1792 and 1808, a period that saw the rise and fall of the Spanish colonial empire in Chile, as well as the establishment of the first Chilean government junta in 1810. Despite this turmoil, the coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency throughout the period.
