Comment
Initials B R are overlaped and looks B with a tail.Interesting fact
The 4 Maravedis coin from Philip IV's reign (1660-1664) was the first coin to feature the legend "Dios protector de la Fe" (God protector of the Faith) on its reverse side. This was a nod to the Catholic Church's influence in Spain at the time and highlights the importance of religion in the country's history.
