Interesting fact
The 4 Reales coin from Peru, minted during the reign of Philip V (1701-1728), has an interesting feature. It has a unique "tree trunk" shaped pillar on the reverse side, which was a common design element in Peruvian coinage during that time period. This distinctive feature was used to prevent counterfeiting and to easily identify genuine coins.
