Interesting fact
The 4 Escudos coin from Spain, minted during the reign of Philip III in 1609, has an interesting feature. It has a unique "secret mark" on the reverse side, which is a small letter "S" etched into the rim. This mark was added by the mint master to indicate that the coin was struck with a special die, and it can be found on only a limited number of coins from this era. This feature makes the coin highly sought after by collectors and numismatists.
