Interesting fact
The 2 Maravedis coin from Philip V's reign (1718-1720) was minted in two different cities: Barcelona and Zaragoza. This is indicated by the mint marks on the coin, with the letter "B" for Barcelona and the letter "Z" for Zaragoza. This is a unique feature of this coin, as it was not common for coins to be minted in multiple locations during this time period.
