Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Elizabeth I of Castile, who ruled jointly as co-monarchs of Spain from 1520 to 1566. This period saw significant cultural and artistic developments in Spain, including the rise of the Renaissance and the construction of grand buildings and monuments. The coin's design, featuring the profiles of the king and queen, reflects the political and cultural influences of the time.
