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 at the Seville mint, which was one of the main mints in Spain at the time, and it features the monarch's portrait on one side and the coat of arms of Spain on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition was a common practice during this period, as it was a valuable and durable metal that was widely used in coinage. The fact that this coin has survived for over 280 years and is still in circulation today is a testament to its historical significance and the enduring legacy of the Spanish monarchy.
