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 Trastamara, was a pretender to the throne and minted his own coins in the city of Toledo, where he had established his court. This coin, bearing his name and the name of Alfonso de Avila, another pretender, is a rare example of the political instability of the time.
