Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of King Henry IV of Castile, who was also known as Henry the Impotent due to his inability to produce a male heir. This led to a succession crisis, which ultimately resulted in the coin being minted with a unique design and limited circulation.
