Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in Spain. The reign of Philip V (1700-1746) saw the country's economy shift towards a more centralized and modernized system, with the introduction of new coinage and the establishment of a national bank. This coin, with its hammered finish and silver content, reflects the efforts of the Spanish government to stabilize and strengthen the country's economy during this period.
