Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Blanca coin from the Kingdom of Castile and Leon is that it was issued during the reign of Henry IV, who was known as "Henry the Impotent" due to his inability to produce a male heir. This led to a succession crisis, which ultimately resulted in the coin being issued with a unique design and inscription, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
