Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an imaginary laureate bust of Ferdinand VII, which means that the portrait of the king on the coin was not based on a real person, but rather was created from the imagination of the artist or engraver. This adds a unique touch to the coin's design and sets it apart from other coins featuring realistic portraits of historical figures.
