Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Reales - Charles I 1536 coin from New Spain (Mexico) is that it was minted during the reign of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, who was also known as Charles I of Spain. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which aimed to standardize the currency across the Spanish Empire.
