Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued 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 caused him to have difficulty walking and riding horses. Despite his physical limitations, Henry III was known for his intelligence and diplomacy, and he played a key role in strengthening the Kingdom of Castile and Leon during his reign.
