Interesting fact
The 4 Reales coin from Spain, minted during the reign of Isabel II (1856-1864), was part of a series of coins that were minted with a new design, featuring the queen's portrait and a more modern style. This was a departure from the previous coinage that had been minted during the reign of her predecessor, Ferdinand VII, which featured a more traditional design. The new design was intended to modernize the Spanish currency and make it more recognizable and accessible to the general public.
