Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Reales - Charles II 1684-1701 from Peru is that it was minted during the reign of Charles II, who was the last Habsburg king of Spain and the first king of Spain to be born in the Americas. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign that were meant to stabilize the economy and promote trade in the Spanish colonies. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not widely accepted in Spain and was primarily used in the Americas. Today, it is a rare and valuable collector's item.
