Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Real - Charles IV (Numeral IIII) 1791-1808 coin from Peru is that it was minted during the reign of Charles IV, who was the last Spanish monarch to rule over the Spanish colonies in America before the Latin American wars of independence. This coin was minted in the midst of a period of political and social upheaval, as the Spanish colonies began to fight for their independence. Despite this, the coin still bears the image of Charles IV and the Spanish crown, symbolizing the continued influence of Spanish rule over the region.
