Comment
A is initial of essayer Andres Pedrera.Interesting fact
The 8 Reales coin from Spain, minted during the reign of Philip III (1607-1621), features an interesting fact. Despite being made of silver (.931), it weighs 27 grams, which is relatively heavy for a coin of its size. This is due to the coin's large diameter, which measures 40 mm, making it one of the larger coins in circulation at the time. This unique combination of weight and size made the 8 Reales a popular and trusted form of currency during its time.
