Interesting fact
The 1 Maravedi coin from Philip III's reign was the first coin to feature the monarch's monogram, which was a bold move away from the traditional practice of featuring the king's full name or initials. This design change was a sign of the growing influence of the Renaissance and its emphasis on individualism and humanism.
