Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Henry IV of Castile, also known as Henry IV of Spain, who ruled from 1455 to 1465. He was known for his efforts to modernize and strengthen the kingdom, and this coin may have been part of those efforts. Additionally, the fact that it is made of gold suggests that it may have been a high-value coin at the time, possibly used for large transactions or as a symbol of wealth and power.
