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 1373. 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 in Latin, as well as an image of him on horseback, which symbolized his power and authority. Despite being a standard circulation coin, this denier is now a rare and valuable collector's item due to its historical significance and the limited number of coins minted during that time.
