Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of King Henry II of Castile, who ruled from 1369 to 1379. During his reign, he sought to strengthen the economy of the kingdom and promote trade, which led to the minting of coins like this denier. The coin's design features the king's name and title, as well as the symbol of the Santiago cross, which was an important symbol of the kingdom. Despite being a standard circulation coin, this denier is now a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
