Interesting fact
The 2 Reales "Maria" coin from Spain, minted in 1687 during the reign of Charles II, features an interesting error on the obverse side. The coin was intended to bear the image of the Virgin Mary, but due to a minting error, the image was accidentally inverted, resulting in a rare and unique variation known as the "Inverted Mary" error. This error has made the coin highly sought after by collectors and has increased its value significantly.
