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 in 1810-1811, during the government of King Ferdinand VII, who was the king of Spain at the time. However, Chile was in the process of gaining its independence from Spain, and this coin was minted as a symbol of the country's struggle for independence. The coin features the bust of Charles III, who was the king of Spain before Ferdinand VII, and was minted in gold (.875) weighing 6.7668 grams. Despite the political turmoil, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item for numismatists today.
