The Real or Reale (symbol R), also known as the Spanish real, was a unit of currency minted and used in Spain and its colonies through several centuries since the 14th century.
History
During the Reconquista in the 14th century, the real was Spain's most common currency.[1] The real later made its way to the New World following the Spanish Empire's expansion to create colonies, so that by the Golden Age of Piracy, it was the currency used throughout the West Indies.[2]
The real has been official currency of modern Brazil [3] since 1994. It was mentioned in Assassin's Creed III, when Desmond came to Brazil in search of the temple's power source, but it has no connection to the Spanish real.
