Interesting fact

The 2 Reales coin from Spain, minted during the reign of Isabel II (1857-1864), was part of a series of coins that were minted with a new design, featuring the queen's portrait and a more modern style. This was a departure from the previous coinage that featured the coat of arms of Spain. The coin was made of silver (.900) and weighed 2.6 grams.
