Interesting fact
The Seiseno - Philip V 1709-1713 coin from the Kingdom of Valencia (Spanish States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in Spain. Philip V, who ruled from 1700 to 1746, was the first Bourbon king of Spain, and his reign saw the country's involvement in the War of the Spanish Succession, which lasted from 1701 to 1714. The coin's minting was likely a response to the economic demands of the war effort and the need for a stable currency. Additionally, the use of copper as the material for the coin reflects the value placed on this metal during this time period.
