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 was a pretender to the throne, and his coins were minted in the city of Toledo, which was a stronghold of his supporters. Despite his efforts, Avila ultimately failed to gain control of the kingdom, and his coins are now highly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and rarity.
