This early coin was used and is quite worn.

It has been saved and is now mounted in a silver surround, suspended from a belcher type chain measuring 22” with a spring-ring clasp, allowing you to wear history.

A similar coin, in better condition but inappropriate for wearing, is illustrated on the website numisantica.com, where it is described as follows:

Spain, 1 Real, Sevilla mint  --  Ferdinand II & Isabella (1469-1506):

1 silver Real, struck in Sevilla, under the Catholic Monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon & Isabella (1469-1506).

Obverse: Crowned shield of Castile-Leon and Aragon.

Reverse: Yoke with traces and sheaf of arrows, S (mint mark Sevilla).

Price: $310
