Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Chile. The coin was minted between 1789 and 1791, during the reign of Charles IV, who was the King of Spain at the time. However, the bust on the coin is actually a depiction of Charles III, who was the King of Spain before Charles IV. This is because the coin was minted using a previous design that had been created during Charles III's reign, and it was not updated to reflect the new king's image until later. This fact highlights the complex history and political changes that were taking place in Chile during this time period.
