Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Charles II of Spain, who was known as "the Bewitched" due to his physical and mental disabilities, which were believed to be the result of a curse. Despite his challenges, Charles II was able to rule for 35 years and implement several important reforms in the Kingdom of Valencia.
