Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Philip V, who was the first Bourbon king of Spain and ruled from 1700 to 1746. This coin was minted in 1704, which was a significant year for Spain as it marked the beginning of the War of the Spanish Succession, a conflict that lasted for 11 years and involved much of Europe. Despite the turmoil caused by the war, the Madrid mint continued to produce coins, including this 2 Reales coin, which was an important part of the Spanish currency system at the time.
