Interesting fact
The ½ Real coin from the Kingdom of Valencia, minted during the reign of Philip IV (1624-1650), was part of a series of coins known as the "columnarios" due to their design featuring a column on the reverse side, symbolizing the Pillars of Hercules and the motto "Plus ultra" (further beyond), which represented the Spanish Empire's expansion beyond the Strait of Gibraltar.
