Interesting fact
The 4 Reales "Maria" coin from Spain, minted in 1701 during the reign of Philip V, features an interesting error on some of the coins. Some of the coins were struck with a misprinted date, showing the year as "1700" instead of "1701". This error has become known as the "Maria Error" and makes those coins particularly valuable to collectors.
