1722 SILVER 2 REALES SPAIN

This notable 1722 silver 2 reales from Spain documents the early Bourbon period, minted during Philip V's consolidation of royal authority following the War of Spanish Succession. The 2 reales denomination maintained its essential role in Spanish commerce and colonial trade throughout this transformative era. Struck with the substantial silver content characteristic of early 18th-century Spanish minting practices, this coin demonstrates the monetary stability Spain sought to establish under new dynastic rule. The piece bears authentic patination and wear patterns consistent with genuine historical circulation across Spanish territories and international markets. Collectors focused on early Bourbon coinage, Spanish monetary systems, or the post-succession period will recognize its historical and numismatic significance. The combination of documented date, precious metal composition, and period authenticity provides both tangible value and connection to a pivotal chapter in Spanish history. An important example for those assembling comprehensive collections of Spanish 2 reales variants or studying early 18th-century European silver coinage.
