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 1497 until their deaths in 1566. This coin was produced at the Seville mint 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 use of silver in the coin's composition and its relatively small weight of 13 grams make it a notable example of a standard circulation coin from this time period in Spanish history.
