Comment
Krause catalog lists type KM#253 from 1701 to 1726. This type has been splited into two different pages due to the obvious change in the design of the obverse (coat of arms) that occurred in the year 1720.
1701-1719 (1st type) 1720-1726 (2nd type)
Interesting fact
The 1 Escudo coin from Spain, minted during the reign of Philip V (1720-1726) at the Seville mint, features a unique design element - a cross on the reverse side. This cross was added to the coin's design to symbolize the monarch's role as the protector of the Christian faith. This interesting fact highlights the historical and cultural significance of the coin, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and history enthusiasts alike.
