Comment
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (29 September 1547 (assumed) – 22 April 1616 NS) was an Early Modern Spanish writer widely regarded as the greatest writer in the Spanish language and one of the world's pre-eminent novelists. He is best known for his novel Don Quixote, a work considered as the first modern novel. The novel has been labelled by many well-known authors as the “best book of all time” and the "best and most central work in world literature".
Interesting fact
The 50 Euro Cents coin from Spain, made of Nordic gold, has a unique feature - it has a distinctive "ring" when it is dropped onto a hard surface. This is due to the specific composition of the alloy, which creates a distinctive sound when struck. This can be a fun fact to share with friends or fellow collectors!
