Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Philip the Handsome, who was the first Habsburg king of Castile and Aragon, and later became the first king of Spain. He was known for his diplomatic and political skills, and his reign marked the beginning of the Habsburg dynasty's rise to power in Europe.
