Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Escudo coin from Spain, featuring Ioana and Carolus I, is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the country. The reign of Charles I (also known as Charles V) saw significant political and religious upheaval, including the Protestant Reformation and the struggle for power between the Catholic Church and secular rulers. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a symbol of the country's rich history and cultural heritage.
