Interesting fact
The Blanca coin was issued during the reign of King Henry III of Castile, who ruled from 1390 to 1406. During his reign, he introduced a new coinage system that included the Blanca, which was a silver coin that was worth 20 maravedis. The Blanca was a significant improvement over the previous coinage system, which had been debased due to excessive minting, and it helped to stabilize the economy of the Kingdom of Castile. It's worth noting that the Blanca coin is quite rare and valuable, especially in good condition. It's a popular collector's item among numismatists who are interested in the history of Spanish coinage.
