Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it features a map of the world on its reverse side, which was created by Juan de la Cosa, a Spanish cartographer, in the early 16th century. This map is considered to be one of the earliest and most accurate representations of the world at that time, and it features several regions and landmarks that were previously unknown to European cartographers.
