Interesting fact
The 4 Reales coin from the Kingdom of Aragon, minted in 1707 during the reign of Philip V, was part of a series of coins known as the "Pieces of Eight," which were widely used in international trade during the 18th century. These coins were so named because they were divided into eight smaller units, called "bits," and were often used to make change. The 4 Reales coin was equivalent to one-third of a Spanish dollar, which was the standard unit of currency in the Spanish colonies in the Americas.
