Interesting fact
The 2 Reales coin from New Spain (Mexico) made of Silver (.931) weighing 6.77 g during Philip V's reign (1701-1728) is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during a time when Spain's colonies in the Americas were thriving, and it features an image of the king on one side and the Spanish coat of arms on the other.
