Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Cuba. The 4 Reales coin was introduced in 1808, just a few years after the Haitian Revolution, which had a significant impact on Cuba's economy and society. Additionally, the coin was minted during the Spanish colonial period, and the countermark on the coin indicates that it was issued by the Spanish colonial authorities in Cuba. This coin is a tangible reminder of the complex history and cultural exchange that took place in the Caribbean during this time period.
