Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Real "Maria" coin is that it was minted during the reign of Charles II, who was known as "The Bewitched" due to his physical and mental disabilities. Despite his challenges, Charles II was able to rule Spain for 26 years and implement several important reforms, including the creation of a new coinage system that included the 1 Real coin.
