NOTE: Differs from KM#40 because this one has a lower silver purity.

NOTE: Higher value comes from bigger part of legend and date clearly visible in the cob.

Interesting fact

The 4 Reales coin from New Spain (Mexico) made of Silver (.916) weighing 13.54 g, issued during the reign of Philip V (1729-1733), is an interesting piece of history because it was used as a form of currency during a time when Mexico was still a Spanish colony. This coin was part of the standard circulation currency used in Mexico and other Spanish colonies in the Americas during that time period. It's fascinating to think about the stories this coin could tell, considering the rich history of Mexico and its people during that era.
