Interesting fact
The 4 Reales coin from Philip V's reign was the first coin to feature the new Bourbon dynasty's coat of arms, which replaced the Habsburg shield that had been used on Spanish coins for over two centuries. This change in design marked a significant shift in the political landscape of Spain and heralded the beginning of a new era for the country.
