Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Real coin from Bolivia, minted during the reign of Ferdinand VI (1747-1760), is that it was made of silver with a purity level of .917, which is higher than the standard .900 purity level for silver coins at the time. This means that the coin contains a higher percentage of pure silver than many other coins of its era, making it a unique and valuable piece for collectors.
