Though pious and well-liked by his contemporaries, he was heavily influenced by his corrupt favorite, the Duke of Lerma. His reliance on court advisors led to political stagnation, though Spain remained a dominant global power. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003eHis reign saw Spain’s temporary peace with England and the Dutch through the Treaty of London (1604) and the Twelve Year’ Truce (1609).

These coins were used throughout the Spanish Empire and played a key role in global trade. The symbols on the obverse included the castle of Castile, the lion of León, and the Pillars of Hercules.
