Interesting fact
The 4 Reales coin from Peru, featuring Charles III, was part of a series of coins known as the "Spanish dollar" or "piece of eight," which was widely used throughout the Spanish Empire in the 18th century. It was also used as a reference currency in many other parts of the world, including the United States, until the mid-19th century.
