Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Venezuela. The Royalist coinage was introduced by King Charles IV of Spain in 1802, but it was not widely accepted by the Venezuelan people, who were seeking independence from Spanish rule. As a result, the coin was not widely circulated and is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
