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 1506 until their deaths in 1566. This coin was minted in the city of Burgos and features the effigies of both monarchs on its obverse side, with the reverse side bearing the coat of arms of Castile and León. The coin's silver content and weight of 13 grams make it a valuable and collectible piece for numismatists and historians interested in the currency of the Spanish Renaissance period.
