Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Real coin from Spain, minted during the reign of Ferdinand VI (1746-1759), is that it was part of a series of coins that were minted with a new standardized design, which was introduced in 1746. This design featured a portrait of the king on one side and the coat of arms of Spain on the other. This standardization was done to combat counterfeiting and to make it easier for people to recognize legitimate coins. The use of silver in the coin's composition also added to its value and durability.
