Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Ferdinand II of Aragon and Elizabeth I of Castile, also known as the "Catholic Monarchs," who ruled Spain jointly from 1520 to 1566. This period saw significant cultural, political, and religious changes in Spain, including the unification of the country under a single crown and the establishment of the Spanish Inquisition. The coin's design, featuring the profiles of both monarchs, reflects the power and influence of the Spanish monarchy during this time.
