Comment
Struck in Barcelona for the expedition against TunisiaInteresting fact
The 1 Real coin from Spain, minted during the reign of Carolus V (1534) and made of silver (.931) has an interesting fact. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it features a unique design element - the shield on the reverse side is surrounded by a wreath of leaves, which was a departure from the traditional plain shield design used on previous coins. This subtle change in design adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the coin, making it stand out among other coins of its time.
