Interesting fact
The 2 Reales coin from Philip III's reign (1614) was minted in Segovia, Spain, and features a unique design. On one side, it depicts the king's crowned bust, while the other side shows the coat of arms of Spain, which includes the motto "Plus ultra," meaning "further beyond" in Latin. This motto was added to the coat of arms by Philip III and reflects the Spanish Empire's ambition to expand its territories beyond the seas. The coin's design and motto provide a glimpse into the political and cultural context of Spain during that time.
