Comment
Peter (Spanish: Pedro; 30 August 1334 – 23 March 1369), called the Cruel (el Cruel) or the Just (el Justo),[a] was the king of Castile and León from 1350 to 1369. Peter was the last ruler of the main branch of the House of Ivrea.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dobla coin is that it was issued during the reign of Pedro I of Castile, also known as Pedro the Cruel, who ruled from 1350 to 1366. Despite his nickname, Pedro I is remembered for his efforts to promote trade and commerce, and the issuance of this gold coin may have been part of those efforts.
