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 in Gothic script, surrounded by a decorative border. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the Maravedi was an important part of the economy of the time and played a significant role in facilitating everyday transactions.
