Interesting fact
The 2 Reales coin from Charles II's reign (1683-1686) was minted in Segovia, Spain, and features an image of the king on one side and the Spanish coat of arms on the other. The coin was made of silver (.931) and weighed 6.8 grams. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Spain, known as the "Great Crisis," which lasted from 1680 to 1685. Despite the economic challenges, the coin remained a stable currency and was widely used throughout the country.
