Interesting fact
The 2 Reales coin from Spain, minted during the reign of Philip V (1701-1711) at the Seville mint, features an interesting fact. Despite being made of silver (.931), it weighs only 6.8 grams, which is relatively light compared to other coins of similar value and material. This is due to the coin's smaller diameter, which was reduced to 23.5 mm for this particular type, making it one of the smallest silver coins issued by Spain during that time.
