Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Maravedi coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of Henry IV of Castile, who was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the government, and promote trade and commerce. The coin's design features the king's name and title, as well as the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Castile and Leon.
