Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Ferdinand I, who was also known as Ferdinand the Catholic, and was the first king of a unified Spain. He ruled from 1479 to 1516 and his reign marked the beginning of the Spanish Empire. The coin's design likely reflects the influence of the Catholic Church and the monarch's desire to promote a unified Spanish identity.
