Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Charles IV of Spain, who was also known as Charles III of Spain, and was the King of Spain from 1788 until his abdication in 1808. This coin was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Peru, as it was struggling for independence from Spanish rule. The coin's design features the portrait of Charles IV on one side and the numeral IV on the other, indicating its value as one real. Despite its relatively small size and weight, this coin is a valuable piece of history and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Peru.
