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 1366 to 1369. During his reign, he sought to strengthen the economy of the kingdom and promote 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 symbolized his power and authority. Despite being made of a relatively low-value material like billon, this coin was widely used in transactions throughout the kingdom and played an important role in the economy of the time.
