Interesting fact
The 20 Reales coin from Spain, minted during the reign of Isabel II (1856-1864), was known as the "Isabelino" and was widely used throughout Spain and its colonies. It was made of silver (.900) and weighed 26 grams, making it a substantial coin that was valued for its durability and purity. The coin's design featured an image of Isabel II on one side and the Spanish coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the power and authority of the Spanish monarchy. Despite its value, the coin was eventually replaced by smaller, lighter coins that were more practical for everyday use. Today, the Isabelino is a sought-after collector's item among numismatists and historians, offering a glimpse into Spain's rich history and cultural heritage.
