Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Reales coin from Chile featuring Ferdinand VII is that it was minted during a time of political and economic turmoil in the country. The coin was issued between 1812 and 1817, a period when Chile was fighting for its independence from Spain. Despite the challenges, the coin remained a standard circulation coin and was widely used in trade and commerce. Its silver content and weight also made it a valuable and reliable form of currency during this time.
