Interesting fact
The 4 Reales coin from Bolivia, minted during the reign of Charles III (1773-1789), has an interesting feature. The coin's design includes the image of the Spanish king on one side and the Bolivian coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during the time when Bolivia was still a Spanish colony, and it is a unique example of a coin that combines the symbols of both the colonial power and the colonized territory.
