Interesting fact
The 1 Real coin from Peru, minted during the reign of Philip V (1701-1728), was part of a series of coins known as the "Pieces of Eight," which were widely used in trade and commerce throughout the Spanish colonies in the Americas. These coins were made of silver and had a standardized design, with the obverse featuring the image of the king and the reverse displaying the coat of arms of Spain. The 1 Real coin was the smallest denomination in this series and was equivalent to one-eighth of a Spanish dollar.
