Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Real - Ferdinand VII (first type) 1808-1811 coin from Peru is that it was minted during the Spanish colonial period in Peru, and it features the image of King Ferdinand VII on one side and the Spanish coat of arms on the other. This coin was used as a means of currency during this time period and was widely used in trade and commerce. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not worth much in terms of monetary value, but it holds significant historical and cultural value as a symbol of Peru's rich history and heritage.
