Interesting fact

The 2 Escudos coin from Spain, minted during the reign of Philip V (1719-1727), was part of a series of coins known as the "Piezas de A dos" or "Two Escudos" coins. These coins were minted in several Spanish cities, including Madrid, and were used as a standard circulation coin during that time. The coin , with the Madrid mint mark and the cross design, is a rare variation of this coin and is highly sought after by collectors.
