Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the Kingdom of Castile and Leon. Enrique IV, also known as Enrique de Avila, was a pretender to the throne who claimed to be the son of King Alfonso XI and was backed by the powerful Avila family. Despite his claims, he was never recognized as the legitimate king and his coins were not widely accepted as currency. This coin, made of gold and weighing 4.6 grams, is a rare example of a coin minted during this period of political upheaval.
