Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of King John I of Castile, who ruled from 1379 to 1390. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to consolidate power within the kingdom, which led to the coin being minted in Seville, a strategic location that served as a hub for trade and commerce. The coin's design features the king's name and title in Latin, "Iohannes Dei Gratia Rex Castelle et Leonis," which translates to "John, by the grace of God, King of Castile and Leon." This coin is a rare and valuable piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political climate of medieval Spain.
