Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ferdinand I, who was also known as Ferdinand the Catholic. He was the king of Navarre and Aragon, and he played a significant role in the unification of Spain. This coin was minted during his reign, which lasted from 1516 to 1556, and it features an image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of Navarre on the other. The fact that it was made of billon, a type of alloy that is composed of silver and copper, suggests that it was a widely used and accessible form of currency during that time.
