Comment

Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1682 Spanish 2 Reales coin is that it features a unique monogram on the reverse side, which represents the initials of King Charles II (CII) and was only used on coins minted in the Segovia mint. This monogram was added to the coin's design to indicate the king's approval and authority, and it can be found on other coins minted during his reign.
