Interesting fact

The 10 Reales coin from Spain, minted during the reign of Isabel II (1857-1864), was part of a series of coins that were minted to replace the previous currency, the Real, which had been in use since the 14th century. This coin was made of silver (.900) and weighed 13 grams, making it a significant improvement over the previous currency in terms of both durability and value.
