Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Charles II of Spain, who was also known as Charles the Bewitched. He was the last Habsburg king of Spain and ruled from 1665 until his death in 1700. During his reign, he faced many challenges, including the War of the Spanish Succession, which lasted from 1701 to 1714. Despite these challenges, he was able to maintain the power and influence of the Spanish Empire, which was one of the largest and most powerful empires in the world at the time.
