| Additional information |
This piece belongs to Spain's long-running commemorative Columnario program, which the Real Casa de la Moneda launched to revisit the pillar dollar — the colonial milled coinage produced at mints in Mexico City, Lima, and Potosí from the mid-17th century onward. Those original pieces became the most widely traded silver coins in the world, circulating from the South China Sea trade routes to the counting houses of Amsterdam. The 1991 issue sits in the middle of the series, neither the first nor the final release.
KM#891 was struck in .925 silver rather than the .903 fineness of the historical coins it references — a minor but catalogued distinction.
