Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Charles II of Spain, who was also known as Charles the Bewitched. He was the last Habsburg king of Spain and ruled from 1665 until his death in 1700. During his reign, he faced many challenges, including the Great Fire of London in 1666, which destroyed much of the city, and the Nine Years' War with France, which lasted from 1688 to 1697. Despite these challenges, Charles II was known for his support of the arts and his efforts to modernize Spain's infrastructure and economy.
