2 Reales - Felipe II Valladolid

Felipe II inherited the Castilian minting system from his father Charles I and largely left its structure intact, but the Pragmática of 1566 tightened assayer accountability across all peninsular mints — a direct response to decades of documented short-weighting and alloy fraud. Valladolid, though never the largest producer in the Crown's system, operated under particularly close scrutiny given its proximity to the royal court during the early part of Felipe's reign.

Cal#587 encompasses a broad date range, and assayer marks are the primary tool for narrowing attribution within it.
