Comment
Struck in Barcelona for the expedition against TunisiaInteresting fact
The 6 Reales coin from Spain, minted during the reign of Carolus V (1534) and made of silver (.931) has an interesting fact. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it was also used as a form of currency in the Spanish colonies in the Americas, particularly in Mexico and Peru. Its silver content and weight made it a valuable and reliable medium of exchange, and it played an important role in facilitating trade and commerce in the region.
