Interesting fact
The 8 Reales coin from Spain, minted between 1731 and 1736 during the reign of Philip V, has an interesting feature. The coin's design includes the letters "S" and "M" on either side of the shield, which stand for "Seville Mint" in Spanish. This indicates that the coin was minted at the Seville Mint, which was one of the main mints in Spain at the time.
