Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Chile. The coin was issued during the reign of King Ferdinand VII, who ruled from 1808 to 1817, but the bust on the coin is actually that of his father, Carlos IV, who had abdicated the throne in 1808. This coin was minted as a way to assert the authority of the Spanish crown over the colonies in South America, but it was ultimately issued during a period of political upheaval and struggle for independence in Chile.
