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 Spain jointly from 1479 until their deaths in 1504 and 1506, respectively. This coin was issued during a time of great change and cultural exchange in Spain, as the country was experiencing a period of rapid expansion and colonization in the New World.
