Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the joint effigies of King Ferdinand V and Queen Elizabeth I of Spain, also known as the "Catholic Monarchs," who ruled together from 1479 until their deaths in 1504 and 1503, respectively. This coin was minted during their reign and is a rare example of a coin that features both monarchs together.
