Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Philip II, who was the king of Spain and the Spanish colonies during a time of great turmoil and change. The coin's minting was likely a response to the need for a stable currency during this time, as the kingdom was facing economic challenges and political unrest.
