Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Elizabeth I of Castile, who ruled jointly as co-monarchs of Spain from 1497 until their deaths in 1540. This coin was produced at the mint in Coruña, a city in the northwest of Spain, and features the effigies of both monarchs on its obverse side. The coin's silver content and weight of 1.7 grams also make it a valuable and collectible piece for numismatists.
