Interesting fact
The 2 Reales coin from Spain, minted in 1724 during the reign of Luis I, has an interesting feature. The coin's obverse side bears the image of the king, while the reverse side features the Spanish coat of arms. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it was minted using a unique process called "cruzado," where the coin's dies were not struck but rather carved into the metal using a technique similar to engraving. This process resulted in a more detailed and intricate design, making the coin a rare and valuable collector's item.
