Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Henry IV of Castile, who was also known as Henry the Impotent. Despite his nickname, Henry IV was able to secure his throne and rule for 22 years, from 1454 to 1474. During his reign, he faced many challenges, including the War of the Castilian Succession, which lasted from 1465 to 1479. This coin, issued in 1461-1462, is a testament to the economic and political stability that Henry IV was able to achieve during his reign, despite the challenges he faced.
