Interesting fact
The 4 Reales coin from Philip V's reign (1700-1746) was the first coin to feature the new Spanish coat of arms, which included the motto "Plus ultra," meaning "further beyond" in Latin. This motto was added to reflect Spain's expanding empire and its ambition to extend its territories beyond the pillars of Hercules (the modern-day Strait of Gibraltar).
