Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Henry IV of Castile, who was also known as Henry the Impotent. Despite his nickname, Henry IV was able to secure his throne and rule for 32 years, from 1455 to 1465. This coin, made of gold and weighing 2.25 grams, features the king in a lobular border and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
