Comment

Shield of Aragon with two stripes

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Kingdom of Valencia is that it features a unique design element - two stripes on the reverse side, which are believed to represent the two kingdoms that Ferdinand II and Elizabeth I ruled, Aragon and Castile. This design element sets the coin apart from other coins of the time and adds to its historical significance.
