Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Real - Ferdinand VI (Colonial Milled Coinage) 1752-1760 from Peru is that it was minted during a time of great change in the region. The coin was produced during the reign of Ferdinand VI of Spain, who ruled from 1746 to 1759. During this time, the Spanish Empire was facing challenges from European powers and indigenous peoples in the Americas, and the coinage of the time reflects these tensions. The 1 Real coin, made of silver and weighing 3.25 grams, was a standard circulation coin used throughout the Spanish colonies in South America, and its design and production were overseen by the Spanish Crown. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a testament to the enduring legacy of Spanish colonialism in the region.
