Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Ducats - Ferdinandus II ND (1505) coin from the Kingdom of Aragon (Spanish States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Aragon, which is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was used during the reign of King Ferdinand II, also known as Ferdinand the Catholic, who ruled Aragon from 1479 to 1516.
