Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique depiction of Ferdinand II, also known as Ferdinand the Catholic, with straight hair, which is different from the more common depiction of him with curly hair. This variation in his hairstyle may indicate that the coin was minted during a specific period or for a particular occasion. Additionally, the fact that it's made of silver and weighs 1.41g suggests that it was a significant denomination during its time.
