An unusually good strike with the important dual portraits unsually clear, and most pleasing overall with almost all of the letters of the legends sharp, on a broad flan. Very rare, more so in this exceptionally fine quality. NGC graded MS-63. . It was assumed in late medieval Europe that religious conformity was a prerequisite for successful government. Spain was probably more religiously diverse than any other European nation. To establish religious conformity, the Jews and Muslim Moors would have to be displaced. In the year of Colombus' first voyage to the New World, 1492, Spain expelled its Jews and captured the Moorish stronghold of Granada. Ferdinand and Isabella were named the "Catholic" rulers for these deeds, and Spanish culture would be irrevocably changed. Here is an indelible memento of those historic moments.
