Interesting fact
The 1 Real coin from the Dominican Republic featuring Charles and Joanna (1515-1559) is interesting because it was minted during the early years of Spanish colonization in the Americas. The coin's design features the royal couple on one side and the Spanish coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the connection between the New World and the Old World. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver and weighs 1.5 grams suggests that it was a significant coin in terms of value and circulation during its time.
