Interesting fact
The 1 Real coin from Colombia featuring Philip V, minted between 1721 and 1722, was part of a series of coins known as the "Piezas de a Dos" or "Two-Reales Coins." These coins were minted in several Latin American countries, including Colombia, Mexico, and Peru, and were used as a standard unit of currency in these regions. The fact that these coins were made of silver and had a relatively low weight of 3.3834 grams made them accessible to everyday people for transactions, while still maintaining their value as a medium of exchange.
