Interesting fact
The 20 Reales coin from Spain, minted during the reign of Isabel II (1847-1855), 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 purity and durability. The coin 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, less valuable coins as the Spanish economy underwent changes in the late 19th century. Today, the Isabelino is a sought-after collector's item among numismatists and history enthusiasts.
