Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the Kingdom of Castile and Leon. Alfonso de Avila was a pretender to the throne, and his coins were minted in Seville, which was a stronghold of his supporters. Despite his efforts, he was ultimately unsuccessful in his bid for power, and his coins are now highly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance.
