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 for his efforts to consolidate power and centralize the government. This coin, which was minted in Seville, is a rare example of a silver coin from this time period and region, and its design features the king's name and title in Gothic script.
