Journeying through time, let's delve into the rich history of the Cruzado coin. Originating during the Reign of Peter III, The Ceremonious in Zaragoza (1336-1387), the Cruzado silver coin was a beacon of economic stability during the Song of the Crusades. Its reverse, adorned with intricate designs, bears testament to the grandeur of the era. Fast forward to the 15th century, during the reigns of Ferdinand I of Antequera (1385-1387, 1392-1396), the Cruzado's design underwent subtle changes. The head on the obverse and reverse showcase the monarch's regal visage, symbolizing sovereignty and power. As the world turned, so did the Cruzado. In 1913, the coin's name became intertwined with the Tango Craze, a passionate dance sensation that swept the globe. Yet, its historical roots remained steadfast. Fernandez Cruzado, a notable figure in the 19th century, carried the legacy of the Cruzado in his name. Joaquín Fernández Cruzado (1781-1856) left an indelible mark on history, reminding us of the enduring allure and significance of this once-mighty coin.
