Interesting fact
The 8 Maravedis coin from Ferdinand VII's reign was the first coin to feature the legend "Dios proteja a España" (God protect Spain) on its reverse side. This inscription was added to the coin's design as a way to express the monarch's devotion to the Catholic Church and to emphasize the importance of religion in Spanish society at the time.
