Interesting fact
The 4 Reales coin from Bolivia, minted during the reign of Charles IV (1789-1790), features an interesting design element - the crown on the obverse (front) side of the coin is adorned with a small bird, known as a "pherdinand," which is a mythical creature that is said to have been a symbol of good luck and prosperity in Bolivian culture.
