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 1373. During his reign, he sought to strengthen the economy and increase trade, which led to the minting of coins like this Real. The coin's design features the king's name and title in Gothic script, and its Billon composition was a common material used for coins during that time period. Despite its small weight of 2.6 grams, the coin still held significant value in the economy of the Kingdom of Castile and Leon.
