Comment
Issue by Fernando II when he had guardianship of Alfonso VIII of Castile.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features two kings, Ferdinand II, and his father, Alfonso VII, on the same coin. This is a unique feature, as most coins of that time period only featured one ruler. This coin is a rare example of a "two-king" coin and is highly sought after by collectors.
