Interesting fact
The 2 Reales coin from Spain, minted during the reign of Philip III (1599-1602), features an interesting fact: it was made using a hammered technique, which was a common method of coin production during that time period. This process involved using a hammer and anvil to shape the metal into the desired form, resulting in a unique and distinctive texture on the coin's surface. Additionally, the use of the Latin phrase "OMNIVM" on the coin, which means "of all things," suggests that the coin was intended to be a symbol of the king's power and authority over all aspects of his kingdom.
