Interesting fact
The 1 Maravedi coin from Philip V's reign (1719-1720) was the first coin to feature the new Spanish coat of arms, which included the motto "Plus ultra," meaning "further beyond" in Latin. This motto was added to reflect Spain's expanded territories and influence under Philip V's rule.
