Comment
NOTE: Formerly KM#9Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Real coin from New Spain (Mexico) made of Silver (.931) weighing 3.3999 g is that it was minted during the reign of Charles I (1542-1555) and features an image of the king on one side and the Spanish coat of arms on the other. This coin was used as a standard circulation coin in Mexico and other parts of New Spain, and its design and materials reflect the influence of Spanish colonial rule in the region.
