– SOLDThe gold Double Excelente reflects the wealth accumulated through trade, particularly in precious metals, as Spain expanded its influence.
This era also overlaps with Christopher Columbus’s first voyage to the New World (1492), sponsored by Isabella, which opened the floodgates for Spain's colonial empire and immense wealth from American gold and silver.
The obverse depicts Ferdinand and Isabella seated together under a canopy, symbolizing their joint rule and divine sanction. The inscription includes Latin text emphasizing their titles and legitimacy as rulers of a unified Spain.
The reverse feature is the Spanish coat of arms, combining the heraldry of Castile (castle) and León (lion) with Aragon and Sicily.
