Interesting fact
The 16 Maravedis coin was used as a means of payment for the Spanish military during the reign of Philip IV (1661-1664). It was made of copper and weighed 4.5 grams, making it a relatively small and lightweight coin. Despite its small size, it played an important role in the economy of Spain during that time.
