Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Henry IV of Castile, who was known as "Henry the Impotent" due to his inability to produce a male heir. Despite this, he was a successful ruler and his reign saw the expansion of trade and commerce in the Kingdom of Castile and Leon. The coin's design, featuring a castle without a border, may have been a symbol of the kingdom's strength and prosperity during this time.
