Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Dobla coin from the Kingdom of Castile and Leon is that it features a unique blend of Christian and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Elizabeth I of Castile, while the reverse side features the Islamic symbol of the crescent moon and star, which was a common motif in the art and architecture of the time. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the Iberian Peninsula during the 15th century, when Christian and Islamic kingdoms coexisted and interacted in complex ways.
