Interesting fact
The 4 Escudos coin from Spain, minted between 1651 and 1655, features an interesting design element. On the obverse side, the coin bears the image of King Philip IV, while the reverse side features the Spanish coat of arms. The coat of arms is surrounded by a wreath, which is made up of two branches, one representing the kingdom of Castile and the other representing the kingdom of Aragon. This design symbolizes the unity of the two kingdoms under the rule of King Philip IV.
