Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Real "Dieciocheno" coin from the Kingdom of Valencia is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in Spain. The coin was issued during the reign of Philip III, who ruled from 1598 to 1621, a period marked by the country's transition from a feudal society to a centralized state. The coin's design, which features the king's image and the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Valencia, reflects the shift towards a more centralized and standardized currency system. Additionally, the coin's silver content and relatively low weight made it a practical and widely used denomination during this time.
