Interesting fact
The ½ Real coin from Philip V's reign (1700-1746) was the first coin to feature the monarch's monogram, which was a significant departure from the traditional design of Spanish coins. The monogram, which consists of the letters "P" and "V" intertwined, was a symbol of the king's authority and was used on many coins throughout his reign. This particular coin, minted in Segovia in 1707, is a rare example of this design and is highly sought after by collectors.
