Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that depicts Christopher Columbus bowing before King Ferdinand, which is a departure from the traditional depiction of Columbus as a heroic figure. This design choice may have been made to highlight the complex and controversial nature of Columbus' legacy, which has been criticized for its impact on indigenous populations.
