| Aanvullende informatie |
Carlos II, the last Habsburg king of Spain, ruled under severe physical and cognitive limitations that left actual governance fragmented among competing regents and court factions for much of his reign. The 1680s saw Spain's treasury under particular strain — the crown had just enacted a major currency reform in 1680 devaluing Castilian silver coinage, a crisis that paradoxically reinforced demand for gold escudos as a stable medium among merchants and financiers.
The Segovia mint was the most technically advanced in Castile, having adopted screw-press machinery decades earlier than most Spanish facilities. Cal#197 is among the scarcer single-year attributions within this reign.
