| Additional information |
Santiago's 1 Real output under Carlos IV occupied a mint that had only transitioned from its colonial "macuique" cut-coinage to milled production in the 1740s — still relatively recent muscle memory. The Chilean mint operated under chronic silver supply pressures throughout the 1790s, dependent on Andean ore shipments that were increasingly disrupted as Bourbon administrative reforms reshuffled trade routes across the viceroyalty.
Carlos IV's abdication at Bayonne in May 1808, coerced by Napoleon, effectively ended this type mid-production year. Coins struck in the final months of 1808 were minted under a king who had already signed away his throne.
