Interesting fact
The 4 Maravedis coin from Spain, minted during the reign of Philip V in 1710, was part of a series of coins that were minted to commemorate the victory of the Spanish Army over the French in the War of the Spanish Succession. The coin features an image of Philip V on one side and the Spanish coat of arms on the other. It was minted in both Madrid and Seville, and its copper composition made it a widely used coin among the common people. Despite its relatively low value, the 4 Maravedis coin has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists due to its historical significance and rarity.
