Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Ferdinand II of Aragon and Elizabeth I of Castile, also known as the "Catholic Monarchs," who ruled Spain jointly from 1479 until their deaths in 1504 and 1505, respectively. This coin was issued during a time of great change and expansion for Spain, as the country was in the process of uniting its various kingdoms and territories under a single crown. Additionally, this coin was minted using the standardized system of coinage that was introduced by the Catholic Monarchs, which helped to establish a uniform currency across Spain and facilitate trade and commerce.
