Chile 1817-So 1/4 real
From CoinFactsWiki
This specimen is one of a series struck 1796-1818 in Santiago, Chile, during the reign of Ferdinand VII. The opening of an enlarged Casa de Moneda in 1805 allowed the increase in mintages and this type is not rare. This particular date is recorded as having been struck by the patriot regime after independence. A hoard of these is known and this date appears in high grade with some frequency.
Recorded mintage: unknown (403,000 for 1818).
Specification: 0.84 g, .896 fine silver, .024 troy oz ASW.
