Interesting fact
The 2 Escudos coin from Spain, minted in 1707 during the reign of Philip V, has an interesting feature. It has a unique "secret mark" on the reverse side, which is a small letter "V" etched into the shield of the coat of arms. This mark was added by the mint master, Juan de la Vega, to indicate that the coin was minted in the city of Valencia. This secret mark was not widely known until recent years, and its discovery has made the coin a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
