Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Ferdinand I Denier coin from the Kingdom of Navarre is that it features a unique design element - a small cross pattée (a cross with arms that are narrow at the center and broaden towards the ends) on the obverse (front) side of the coin. This cross is believed to have been added to the design to symbolize the king's role as a protector of the Christian faith.
