Interesting fact
The 8 Reales coin from Spain, minted in 1718 during the reign of Philip V, has an interesting feature. The coin's design includes a unique symbol called the "Pillar Dollar" or "Columnario" which is a stylized representation of the Spanish dollar sign ($). This symbol was used on Spanish coins during that time period and has since become a distinctive mark of Spanish currency.
