Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Henry III of Castile, who was also known as Henry the Suffering. He was given this nickname because he was born with a physical disability that left him unable to walk or ride a horse, and he relied on a wheelchair or litter to get around. Despite his physical limitations, Henry III was known for his intelligence and strong will, and he ruled Castile and Leon for 40 years, implementing various reforms and policies that helped to strengthen the kingdom.
