| Additional information |
Enrique IV's half-enrique belongs to the first coinage of his reign, issued before the monetary chaos that followed the 1462 debasement crisis — a period in which the Castilian crown flooded the market with debased vellón and undermined confidence in royal currency so thoroughly that the Cortes repeatedly demanded reform. Gold issues from the early reign retain their fineness and predate that collapse.
The Burgos mint was among the most active royal establishments of the period. AB#647 places this squarely in the pre-reform series.
