BR overlapped are the initials of the official Bernardo de Pedrera y NegreteInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Escudo - Charles II (Segovia) 1683 coin from Spain is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S" and "F" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for "Sigillum Ferdinandi" (Seal of Ferdinand) and signifies that the coin was minted during the reign of King Ferdinand VI.
