Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Henry IV of Castile, who was known as "Henry the Impotent" due to his inability to produce a male heir. Despite this, he was able to secure his throne and rule for over 30 years, leaving a lasting legacy in the history of Spain.
