Comment
NOTE: Differs from KM#79 because King's number is shown as "IIII" rather than "IV"Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Charles IV, who was the last Spanish monarch to rule over New Spain (present-day Mexico) before the country gained independence in 1821.
