Interesting fact

The 2 Maravedis coin from Spain, issued during the reign of Philip IV in 1663, features an interesting design element. On one side, the coin bears the image of the king, while the other side features the coat of arms of Granada, which includes a pomegranate, the symbol of the city. This design choice was meant to commemorate the union of Granada with the Spanish crown.
