Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique spelling of the king's name, "Ferdinandus," with the letter "S" added to the end. This variation in spelling suggests that the coin may have been minted in a specific region or at a particular time during Ferdinand II's reign, making it a distinctive and potentially valuable collector's item.
