Interesting fact
The 8 Maravedis coin from Spain, minted during the reign of Isabel II (1835-1836), was part of a series of coins that were introduced to replace the old Spanish currency, which was based on the silver standard. This coin was made of copper and had a value of 8 maravedis, which was a significant amount at the time. The coin features an image of Isabel II on one side and the Spanish coat of arms on the other. It's interesting to note that this coin was minted during a time of economic and political change in Spain, as the country was transitioning from a feudal society to a more modern, capitalist economy.
