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 during the reign of King Ferdinand VII of Spain, who ruled from 1808 to 1833. However, the coin was minted in Chile, which was then a Spanish colony, and it features the bust of Ferdinand VII. This coin was minted during a period of conflict between Chile and Spain, as Chile was fighting for its independence. Despite this, the coin still bears the image of the Spanish king, highlighting the complex political dynamics of the time.
