Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of King John II of Castile, who was known for his efforts to centralize power and promote economic growth in his kingdom. The coin's design features the king's crowned bust on one side and the royal coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the power and authority of the monarch. Despite its small size and relatively low denomination, this coin is a valuable piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political climate of 15th-century Spain.
