Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of King Henry II of Castile, who ruled from 1369 to 1373. He was known for his efforts to consolidate power and establish a strong central government, and this coin may have been part of his efforts to promote trade and commerce within his kingdom. Additionally, the fact that it was made of billon, a type of alloy that is composed of a mixture of metals, suggests that it may have been a more affordable and accessible form of currency for everyday transactions.
