Step into the world of early 18th-century Spain with this authentic Four Reales, hand-milled at the historic Seville Mint in 1718 during the reign of King Philip V, the first Bourbon monarch of Spain. Struck in silver and weighing 7.5 grams, this remarkable coin once circulated throughout a vast empire that stretched across Europe and the Americas.
The obverse features the iconic Greek cross, with the lions of León and castles of Castile in its quadrants—symbols representing the powerful kingdoms that formed the Spanish Crown. The surrounding legend proclaims HISPANIARVM REX, meaning "King of the Spains."
The reverse bears the crowned Bourbon Coat of Arms, along with the mintmark S for Seville, the denomination 4 Reales, and the assayer's mark M. The inscription PHILIPPVS V, D G translates to "Philip V, by the Grace of God."
Preserved in a handcrafted sterling silver setting with a 14K gold accent, this historic coin has been transformed into a timeless heirloom that celebrates the artistry, power, and global influence of the Spanish Empire.
