Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ferdinand II, who was also known as Ferdinand the Great. He was a powerful king who ruled over a large portion of the Iberian Peninsula and played a significant role in the Reconquista, the reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula from the Moors. This coin, which features Ferdinand II's image, was likely used to promote his image and reinforce his authority over the kingdom.
