Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Ferdinand II of Aragon and Elizabeth I of Castile, also known as the Catholic Monarchs, who ruled jointly over the Kingdom of Castile and the Kingdom of Aragon, and their marriage unified the two kingdoms, leading to the establishment of modern-day Spain.
