Interesting fact
The 4 Reales coin from Bolivia, minted during the reign of Philip II (1574-1586), features a unique design element - a small image of the Sun God, Inti, on the reverse side. This symbol was an homage to the indigenous beliefs of the region and a nod to the rich cultural heritage of Bolivia.
