EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a 4 Reales coin from the reign of Philip III, made of silver. The coin, created by the Spanish School in the 17th century, is now housed in the prestigious Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The image depicts both sides of this ancient currency, offering us a glimpse into the wealth and power that once resided within Spain and Portugal during Philip III's rule. On one side, we see an intricate coat of arms adorned with symbols representing Portuguese heritage and a majestic crown atop it. This emblem serves as a reminder of the close ties between these two kingdoms under Philip III's reign. On the reverse side, we are presented with detailed engravings showcasing various elements associated with Spanish culture and monarchy. The words "rex philippus hispaniarum" can be seen inscribed on this side - Latin for "King Philip of Spain". As we admire this stunning artifact frozen in time through Bridgeman Images' lens, let us reflect on its significance beyond mere monetary value. It represents an era when kings held immense authority over vast territories and their coins served as tangible symbols of their dominion.
