Interesting fact
The 1 Real coin from Philip IV's reign (1651-1653) was the first coin to be minted in Colombia, specifically in the city of Santa Fe de Bogotá. It was part of a series of coins minted during Philip IV's reign, which were known as the "Piezas de a 8" or "Piezas de a 4" due to their denominations. These coins were used extensively in trade and commerce throughout the Spanish colonies in South America, and their design and mintage were overseen by the Spanish Crown.
