Interesting fact
The Blanca coin was a popular denomination during the reign of Philip II of Spain, and it was used extensively in trade and commerce. In fact, the coin was so widely used that it became a standard unit of account for many merchants and traders in Spain and its colonies. This coin's design featured an image of Philip II on one side and the Spanish coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the power and influence of the Spanish monarchy during that time.
