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 and increase 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 a cross and a shield with the royal arms. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin is a significant piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political climate of medieval Spain.
