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 rightful king instead of Alfonso XII, who was the actual ruler at the time. Despite his claim, Enrique's coins were still widely accepted and used as currency, indicating that his claim to the throne had some level of support among the population. This coin, made of gold and weighing 4.6 grams, is a rare and valuable artifact from this period of Spanish history.
