Interesting fact
The 8 Maravedis coin from Philip IV's reign (1621-1626) was the first coin to feature the iconic "hammered" design, which was created by hammering the metal rather than using a machine to stamp it. This unique design feature was used to prevent counterfeiting and to ensure the coin's authenticity.
