Comment
Officials' initials F Fernando VazquezInteresting fact
The 1 Real coin from Philip V's reign (1717-1729) was the first coin to feature the iconic Spanish coat of arms, which includes the motto "Plus ultra," meaning "further beyond" in Latin. This motto was originally used by Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, and was later adopted by Philip II of Spain. The coat of arms has been a symbol of Spanish identity and has been featured on many Spanish coins throughout history.
