Interesting fact
The ½ Real coin from the Kingdom of Castile and Leon, minted during the reign of John I (Burgos) between 1379 and 1390, features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual royal coat of arms or insignia, the coin bears an image of a castle, which is believed to represent the city of Burgos, where John I was born and crowned. This design element sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a distinctive piece of numismatic history.
