Comment
Issue by Fernando II when he had guardianship of Alfonso VIII of Castile.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Ferdinand II, also known as Ferdinand the Knight, who was the King of León from 1157 to 1188. He was known for his military campaigns against the Moors and his role in the Reconquista, the reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula from Muslim rule. The coin's design, which includes a knight on horseback, likely represents Ferdinand's military prowess and leadership during this time.
