1/2 Real - Enrique II Seville

Enrique II came to power by murdering his half-brother Pedro I in 1369 — a fratricide that ended a brutal civil war and left the new king deeply dependent on the nobles and foreign allies who had backed him. His monetary reforms reflected this political debt: the coinage was reorganized and marked to reassert royal authority after years of competing mints and debased issues produced under the pressures of war. Seville, recaptured from Pedrista control, was among the reinstated royal mints.

The short dating window of this issue — six years before Enrique's death in 1379 — keeps surviving examples from achieving large populations in any grade.
