Interesting fact
The 1 Real coin from Philip V's reign (1701-1713) was the first coin to feature the iconic "pillar and waves" design, which has become a hallmark of Spanish currency. The design depicts two pillars representing the Pillars of Hercules, with waves crashing against them, symbolizing the kingdom's maritime power and influence. This design has been featured on many Spanish coins throughout history and remains a recognizable symbol of Spanish currency to this day.
