Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Real - Ferdinand VI 1754-1760 coin from Guatemala is that it was minted during a time of great change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of King Ferdinand VI of Spain, who ruled from 1746 to 1759. During this time, Guatemala was still a Spanish colony, and the coin was likely used as a form of currency for everyday transactions. In addition, the coin's silver content and weight of 3.3834 grams make it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists. The fact that it has been preserved for so many years and is still in circulation today is a testament to its historical significance and the enduring legacy of the Spanish Empire.
