Comment
NOTE: Differs from KM#89 because the King's number appears as "IIII" in this one.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Charles IV, who was the last Spanish monarch to rule over New Spain (now Mexico) before it gained independence in 1821.
