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 a cross on the other, reflects the influence of Christianity and the monarch's authority during that time.
