4 Reales - Charles I ND

One interesting fact about the 4 Reales coin from New Spain (Mexico) is that it was used as a form of currency in the 16th century, and its design was influenced by the Spanish dollar, which was the first global currency. The 4 Reales coin was also known as the "Piece of Eight" because it was divided into eight smaller units, each called a bit. This coin was widely used in trade and commerce, not only in Mexico but also in other parts of the world, including the Philippines, China, and other countries in Southeast Asia.
