Owner Comments:
Charles III ruled Spain from 1759 to 1788. His portrait show the prominent Bourbon nose that was typical of Bourbon family members who ruled throughout Southern Europe. It was under Charles' reign that Spain began to be recognized a nation rather than a collection of kingdoms and territories. His efforts resulted in creation of a National Anthem, a flag, and a true capital city.
this particular coin is lightly chopped on the obverse with chopmarks typical of the Philippines and environs. The dies also appear to be slightly rotated.
