Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of King John I of Castile, who was also known as John of Gaunt, and was a member of the House of Plantagenet. He was a powerful king who ruled over a large portion of the Iberian Peninsula and was known for his military campaigns and political alliances. The coin's design and minting process would have been overseen by the king or his representatives, making it a unique piece of history that reflects the economic and political climate of the time.
