Informazioni aggiuntive	Carlos IV ascended the Spanish throne in December 1788, and Lima's mint was quick to strike transitional coinage bearing his name — but the dies prepared for this short window still incorporated the assayer initials and stylistic conventions established under his father Charles III. The overlap creates a brief, documentable moment of institutional inertia in the colonial minting apparatus. KM#90 covers only these three years before revised die standards took effect.
