Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Henry coin from the Kingdom of Castile and Leon is that it was minted 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's minting.
