Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an imaginary bust of Ferdinand VII, as the actual bust of the king was not available for use on coins during this time period. Instead, an artist's interpretation of the king's bust was used, resulting in a unique and fictionalized representation of the monarch on the coin.
