Comment
Luis I coinage is among the rarest and most valuable for collectors. He only reigned 7 months during the year of 1724 and then he died at age 17. His father Felipe V returned to the throne after this, hence Felipe V coinage exists prior and post Luis' I.Any coinage from posterior years was already minted at the time of his dead and kept in storage, or was released as a memento from the dead King.
Interesting fact
The ½ Real coin from Luis I's reign (1724-1726) is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and the limited number of coins minted during that time period.
