The Columbus expedition, which set sail in 1492, is estimated to have cost around 2 million maravedís, a significant sum at the time. Funding primarily came from the Spanish monarchs, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, who invested in the venture to establish new trade routes and territories. The financial backing included ships, supplies, and crew expenses. Ultimately, the expedition led to the discovery of the New World, which had profound economic implications for Spain.
