Comment

First "spanish Real" with bust of the King.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of King John II of Castile, who was known for his efforts to centralize power and promote economic growth in his kingdom. The coin's design, featuring the king's crowned bust on one side and the royal coat of arms on the other, reflects the monarch's authority and influence during this time.
