Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Escudo - Charles II 1672-1689 coin from Spain is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in the country. The coin was introduced in 1672, just a few years after the end of the Thirty Years' War, which had a profound impact on the Spanish economy. Additionally, Charles II, who ruled Spain during this time, was known for his efforts to centralize power and reform the government, which may have influenced the design and production of the coin.
