Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Escudos - Charles II 1672-1699 coin from Spain is that it was minted during a time when Spain was experiencing significant economic and political changes. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles II, who was known as "the Bewitched" due to his poor health and perceived weakness in rule. Despite these challenges, the coin still holds significant value and is highly sought after by collectors today.
