Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Ferdinand V, also known as Ferdinand the Catholic, who was the King of Aragon, Sicily, and Naples, and Count of Barcelona. He played a significant role in the unification of Spain and was known for his patronage of the arts and architecture. This coin, which features an image of Ferdinand V on one side and the coat of arms of the Principality of Catalonia on the other, is a rare and valuable piece of numismatic history.
