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 1808-1809, during the reign of King Ferdinand VII of Spain, who was also the King of Chile. However, at that time, Chile was in the process of gaining its independence from Spain, and the coin was minted in the midst of this political upheaval. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of history that serves as a reminder of the complex political landscape of Chile during that time period.
