Beauty coins, especially around the edges. I've always liked that lion side view crest symbol too :)

Everything in this coin just goes together. The smooth uneven texture of the edges feel as if the coin has been handled for ages, the triangled denticles are a very modern style I haven't seen on any other coin. Leon, the crowned lion is a part of the original Spanish Arms/crest along side with Castile, the Castle symbol. A lot of historic behind the symbols.

Thanks for the comment @mraggaj
