The Spanish mints feature large issues of a variety of copper coins which did not circulate at all in the Spanish American colonies. In the predecimal system which obtained until 1847, 34 maravedis = one real of silver. This two maravedis was worth 1/17 of a real; history does not record the reason for the odd division. This type was struck in Jubia, Madrid, Segovia and Barcelona 1837-50 and was accompanied by copper one, [[Spain 1847-Seg 4 maravedis|four]] and [[Spain 1845-Seg 8 maravedis|eight maravedis]]. The type is not scarce and this mint is the commonest of the three.
