Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of King Enrique IV of Castile, also known as Enrique de Trastámara, who ruled from 1454 to 1474. He was known for his efforts to centralize power and unify the kingdom, and this coin may have been minted as part of those efforts. Additionally, the coin features an image of Saint Alfonso de Ávila, a 15th-century bishop and patron saint of Toledo, which suggests that the coin may have been minted specifically for use in the city of Toledo.
