Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Reales - Ferdinand VI (Colonial Milled Coinage) 1751-1760 from Peru is that it was minted using a unique process called "milled coinage," which was introduced in the Americas during the 18th century. This process involved using a machine to stamp the coin's design onto a blank piece of metal, resulting in a more uniform and consistent finish compared to traditional hammered coins. This innovation allowed for faster and more efficient production of coins, making currency more accessible to the general population.
