| Aanvullende informatie |
Enrique II came to power by murdering his half-brother Pedro I in 1369 — a fratricide that ended a brutal civil war and inaugurated the Trastámara dynasty. His coinage reforms followed quickly, as the new king needed legitimately circulating money to consolidate a kingdom exhausted by nearly a decade of conflict. Toledo was one of the principal mints pressed into immediate service for this purpose.
The .931 fineness is notably high for Castilian fractional silver of this period, a standard that would not survive his successors' fiscal pressures for long.
