Comment
Same designs (different metal) as KM#PnB1.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1⁄16 Real - Charles III (Pattern, Brass) 1768 from New Spain (Mexico) made of Brass is that it was minted during a time of great change and reform in Mexico. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles III, who was the King of Spain from 1759 to 1788, and was part of a series of reforms aimed at modernizing the Mexican economy and monetary system. The coin's design, which features an image of Charles III on one side and the Spanish coat of arms on the other, reflects the influence of Spanish culture and rule over Mexico during this time.
