2 Maravedis - Felipe V Valencia

Felipe V spent the first decade of his reign fighting to keep the Spanish throne he had inherited in 1700, and Valencia paid dearly for backing the wrong side. The city fell to Bourbon forces in 1707, after which Felipe abolished the traditional Aragonese fueros by decree — the Nueva Planta reforms that followed restructured Valencian governance entirely. The Valencia mint's resumption of copper coinage in 1718 was itself a direct product of that reorganization, reintegrating the region's monetary production under Castilian administrative control.
