Interesting fact

The ½ Real coin from the Kingdom of Valencia, minted during the reign of Philip III in 1610, was part of a series of coins that were minted to commemorate the wedding of Philip III to Margaret of Austria. The coin features the royal shield on one side and the image of the Virgin Mary on the other, signifying the strong Catholic faith of the Spanish monarchs at the time.
