Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Henry IV of Castile, also known as Henry IV of Spain, who was the last monarch of the Trastámara dynasty. He ruled from 1455 until his death in 1465, and his reign was marked by political instability and conflict, including a civil war against his half-brother, Alfonso of Castile. Despite these challenges, Henry IV was able to maintain the stability of the kingdom and issue coins like this one, which feature his name and image on one side and the royal coat of arms on the other.
