Interesting fact
The 4 Reales coin from Spain, also known as the "Isabel II" coin, was minted during the reign of Queen Isabella II from 1837 to 1849. It was made of silver with a purity of .812, which means it contained 81.2% silver and 18.8% other metals. This coin was a standard circulation coin during that time and was widely used in Spain and its colonies. Interestingly, the coin's design features a portrait of Queen Isabella II on one side and the Spanish coat of arms on the other. The coat of arms includes the motto "Plus ultra," which means "further beyond" in Latin, signifying Spain's ambition to expand its empire beyond its current borders. Overall, the 4 Reales coin is a piece of history that offers a glimpse into Spain's rich cultural heritage and its influence on the world during that time.
