Interesting fact

The 1 Real coin from Philip IV's reign (1627-1651) 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 power and influence of the Spanish monarchy during that time.
