Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Cuartillo coin is that it was issued during the reign of King Henry IV of Castile, also known as Henry the Impotent, who was known for his weak rule and the turmoil that surrounded his kingdom during his reign. Despite his personal struggles, the coinage issued during his reign, including the Cuartillo, still holds significant historical and numismatic value today.
