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. Alfonso de Avila, also known as Alfonso the Innocent, was a pretender to the throne who claimed to be the son of King Henry IV and was backed by the nobles who opposed the reigning monarch, Queen Isabella I. Despite his claims, Alfonso's rule was not recognized by the Catholic Monarchs, and his coins were not widely accepted as legitimate currency. This coin, minted during his brief reign from 1465 to 1468, is a rare and valuable piece of numismatic history.
