Comment
NOTE: Formerly KM#19Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Real - Charles I 1546 from New Spain (Mexico) made of Silver is that it was minted during the reign of Charles I, also known as Charles V, who was the King of Spain and the Holy Roman Emperor from 1536 to 1556. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, and it features an image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of Mexico on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition was a common practice during this time period, as it was a valuable and durable metal that was widely used in coinage.
