Interesting fact
The 2 Maravedis coin from Philip III's reign (1618) is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage. It was minted in the Spanish possession of Oran (Algeria), which was a strategic port city in the Mediterranean during the Spanish Empire. The coin's design features the king's name and title in Latin, as well as the coat of arms of Spain and the city of Oran. Its copper composition and relatively low weight make it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
