Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of King Henry II of Castile, who ruled from 1369 to 1379. During his reign, he sought to strengthen the economy and increase trade, which led to the minting of coins like this one. The coin's design features the king's name and title in Latin, as well as an image of him on horseback, which symbolizes his power and authority. Despite being over 600 years old, this coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the economic and cultural achievements of the Kingdom of Castile and Leon during that time.
