Interesting fact

The 2 Escudos coin from Spain, minted in 1652 during the reign of Philip IV, features a unique design element - the shield on the reverse side is not enclosed in a circle, unlike other coins of the same denomination from that time period. This design variation makes it stand out among other coins of its kind and adds to its numismatic appeal.
