Interesting fact
The 2 Maravedis coin was a significant denomination during the reign of Philip V, and it was widely used in trade and commerce. However, the coin's design was changed frequently during this period, with different variants featuring different images and inscriptions. One such variant, known as the "Linares" issue, features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of the same denomination. The Linares issue features a portrait of Philip V on one side and an image of the Spanish coat of arms on the other, surrounded by an ornate border. This design was only used for a short period of time, making it a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
