Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued 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 ruled for over 30 years and his coinage, such as this ½ Henry coin, remains a valuable piece of numismatic history.
