Comment
Previously Km#1.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Philip II of Spain, who was also known as Philip the Prudent. He was the King of Spain from 1556 until his death in 1598 and was known for his efforts to strengthen the Spanish Empire and his support of the Catholic Church. The coin's design, featuring a crown on the obverse (front) side and the coat of arms of Spain on the reverse (back) side, reflects Philip II's influence and power during his reign.
