Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Spain. Philip IV ruled during a period of economic and political instability, and the coinage of the time reflects this. The 4 Cornados coin was issued as a replacement for the earlier 3 Cornados coin, and it was intended to help stabilize the economy. Despite these efforts, the coinage of this period is now highly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and relative rarity.
