Interesting fact
The 2 Reales "Maria" coin from Spain, minted between 1699 and 1700 during the reign of Charles II, features an interesting error on some of the coins. Due to a mistake in the minting process, some coins were produced with a misprinted date, showing the year as "1698" instead of "1699" or "1700". This error has become a sought-after feature among collectors, making these coins particularly valuable and highly sought after.
