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 1506 until their deaths in 1566. This coin was issued during a time of great change and cultural flowering in Spain, marked by the rise of the Spanish Empire and the Renaissance.
