Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the royal wedding of King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia of Spain, but it was actually minted in Somalia, which is an unusual choice of location given the country's political instability and lack of a strong numismatic tradition.
