Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the joint effigies of King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Elizabeth I of Castile, who ruled together as co-monarchs of the Kingdom of Valencia, a region in the Spanish States. This coin was minted during their reign, which lasted from 1483 to 1488. The coin's design reflects the political unity and cooperation between the two monarchs, which was a significant aspect of their rule.
