Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Cuartillo coin is that it was minted during the reign of King Henry IV of Castile, who was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the government, and promote trade and commerce. The coin's design, featuring the king's crowned bust on one side and the royal shield on the other, reflects the monarch's efforts to assert his authority and legitimacy. Despite being made of a relatively low-value material like billon, the coin's intricate design and historical significance make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
