Comment
The attribution of this coin to the Philippines is questionable.Interesting fact
The ¼ Real ND (1788) silver coin from the Philippines is interesting because it was minted during the Spanish colonial period, and its design features the Spanish king, Charles III, on one side and the Philippine coat of arms on the other. This coin was used as a form of currency in the Philippines during that time and is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
