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 Pious. He was a member of the House of Habsburg and ruled over a vast empire that included Spain, Portugal, and much of Europe and the Americas. The coin's design likely reflects the monarch's influence and power during this time period.
