Interesting fact
The 2 Escudos coin from Spain, minted during the reign of Philip III (1607-1610), features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of Segovia, the city where the coin was minted, located on the reverse side of the coin. This subtle detail highlights the importance of regional minting and the pride in local heritage during that time period.
