#KING CHARLES 2 OF SPAIN MODS#

So here is my 'mod alert' - I am going to talk about the ever-controversial Michel Foucault (though very early Foucault). What a wonderful question! I'm going to answer this in three parts - the first talking about autopsies and medical perception, the second about Charles II, and the third to generally talk about my approach to paleopathology and medical history.

A couple people messaged me about Foucault - I wrote a response in Part 4 below (and about how, despite finding him influential, I largely agree with the mods policy on him).

Minted in five denominations in silver, the largest was the 8 reales, famous in the colonies as a “piece of eight.” Spanish coins, known as 'cobs', that circulated in this epic era were hand struck from dies and cut to weight, making each a one-of-a-kind piece of history.New to /r/AskHistorians?

Apply for Flair The obverse side of this coin features a Jerusalem cross with castles and lions in the quarters and the reverse shows the Pillars of Hercules with the date, mintmark and assayer. This coin was minted during the reign of King Charles II, who ruled a Spanish global empire with territories and colonies in Europe, the Americas, Asia and Oceana. Buccaneers from Tortuga and pirates throughout the Caribbean raided ships and settlements in search of treasure. With these vast riches, it was inevitable that the Golden Age of Piracy (1650-1725) in the New World would ensue. Over the next two centuries, the Spanish became the premier supplier of silver and gold coins for the world. To deliver this massive new-found wealth to the Crown, the Spanish shipped their treasure in fleets of mighty galleons. Soon after, high in the Andes Mountains at Potosi, the Spanish discovered the richest silver deposits in the world and in 1575 they opened the mint in Potosi. In 1533, four decades after Columbus landed in the New World, Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro conquered the Inca Empire in Peru.
