Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in Spain. The reign of Philip V (1700-1746) saw the country's economy transition from a feudal system to a more modern, capitalist system, and the coinage of the time reflects this shift. The 1 Real coin, in particular, was an important denomination that was widely used in trade and commerce, and its design and production were overseen by the Royal Mint in Seville. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not as valuable as other coins of the time, but it played a vital role in the everyday transactions of the Spanish people.
