Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency in Colombia during a time of great social and political change. The coin was minted during the reigns of Ferdinand VI, Charles III, and Charles IV, who were all Spanish monarchs who ruled over the New Granada region, which included present-day Colombia. This time period saw significant changes in the region, including the establishment of the Viceroyalty of New Granada and the expansion of trade and commerce. The coin's silver content and small denomination made it a practical and accessible form of currency for everyday transactions.
