Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of King Henry IV of Castile, also known as Henry the Impotent, who ruled from 1455 to 1471. Despite his nickname, Henry IV was known for his efforts to modernize and strengthen the kingdom, including the introduction of new coinage like this Real. The coin's design features the king's crowned bust on one side and the royal shield on the other, symbolizing the power and authority of the Castilian monarchy.
