Symbology of Spanish Coins

Coin symbology has a lot of history to it. Every coin tells a story from the design on the coin to the material it is made from. You can often tell where the coin is from based on these two simple facts. For example the first Spanish escudo was introduced in 1566 as a gold coin. And the Spanish flower coins were issued between 1990 and 2000 and they were worth 50 pesetas. Just like the heart symbol adding the romantic element to the coin. For anyone that enjoys history or coin collecting this would be interesting to dig into.http://www.spanishgolds.com/blog/2009/12/14/spanish-coin-symbology.html
