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 during his reign, he oversaw the expansion of the Spanish Empire, which became one of the largest empires in history. The coin's design and the fact that it was made of silver also reflect the influence of Spanish culture and trade during that time.
