Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of King Henry II of Castile, who ruled from 1369 to 1379. He was known for his military campaigns against the Moors and his efforts to consolidate power within the kingdom. The coin's design likely reflects the political and cultural influences of the time, and its silver content and weight suggest that it was a valuable and widely used form of currency.
