Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Circulating commemorative coin 1 Real - Charles III (Proclamation) 1760 from Guatemala made of Silver is that it was minted during the reign of King Charles III of Spain, who was also known as Charles III of Bourbon. He was the King of Spain from 1759 until his death in 1788, and during his reign, he implemented several reforms that helped to modernize and strengthen the Spanish Empire. The coin was likely minted to commemorate his proclamation as king and to promote his image as a powerful and influential leader.
