Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the joint effigies of King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Elizabeth I of Castile, who ruled together as co-monarchs of Spain during the 16th century. This coin was minted during their reign, which marked a significant period of political and cultural unification in Spanish history.
