Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Juan de Gante, who was a pretender to the throne of the Kingdom of Castile and Leon. Despite being a pretender, Juan de Gante was able to mint coins in his name, which suggests that he had some level of support or recognition among the people. This coin, in particular, is made of silver and weighs 3.2 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. It's a fascinating piece of history that provides insight into the political and economic climate of the time.
