Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Philip III of Spain, who was also known as Philip II of Portugal. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign that were used in both Spain and its colonies, including Bolivia. The fact that it was made of silver and has a relatively low weight of 6.7682 grams suggests that it was a widely used coin for everyday transactions. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in Bolivia during this time period highlights the country's rich history and cultural heritage.
