Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Florin - Henry IV ND (1462-1464) coin from Principality of Catalonia (Spanish States) is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil. Henry IV, also known as Henry the Impotent, was the King of Castile and León from 1454 until his death in 1474. During his reign, he faced several challenges, including the War of the Castilian Succession, which lasted from 1462 to 1474. Despite these challenges, the coin still holds significant historical value and is a rare find for collectors today.
