EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print showcases a Spanish 'real de a 2' coin from Sevilla, minted in the year 1704. The coin, a part of the Numismatic Cabinet of Catalonia in Barcelona, is an essential addition to any numismatic or historical collection. The 'real' was the primary currency in the Spanish Empire during the 16th and 17th centuries, and its value was equivalent to two silver reals or one gold escudo. The design on the obverse side of this coin features the image of King Philip V of Spain, who ruled from 1700 to 1724. The king is depicted wearing a grand coat of arms adorned with the Pillars of Hercules, symbolizing the power of the Spanish monarchy over the Spanish territories in the Americas. The inscription reads "PHILIPPVS. DEI. G. R. N. HISP. ET IND. OR. AR. ET PER. REX" which translates to "Philip, by the grace of God, King of Spain and the Indies, of the Two Sicilies, and of Portugal." The reverse side of the coin displays the image of the Pillars of Hercules, flanked by the motto "Plus Ultra," which means "Further Beyond." This symbolizes the Spanish Empire's expansionist policies and its reach beyond the known world. The inscription reads "HISPANIARUM REGNUM" which translates to "The Kingdom of Spain." This coin is a testament to the economic and social history of Spain during the early modern period, as well as the role of numismatics and philately in preserving and studying historical artifacts. The Numismatic Cabinet of Catalonia in Barcelona is an essential resource for scholars, collectors, and enthusiasts of Spanish and European history, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the past.
