Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Spain. Charles III was a pretender to the Spanish throne and his reign was marked by conflict with the ruling Bourbon dynasty. Despite this, the coin still features the standard design of a Spanish real coin, with the monarch's image on one side and the Spanish coat of arms on the other. This coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the complex political landscape of 18th century Spain.
