1/2 Real - Enrique IV Cuenca

Enrique IV's final years were consumed by the War of Castilian Succession, a dynastic crisis in which his own nobles declared his half-brother Alfonso king in 1465 — the so-called "Farce of Ávila" — and later backed Isabella after Alfonso's death. Coinage from Cuenca during this period was struck under conditions of fractured royal authority, with mints operating under shifting loyalties. The Cuenca mint held royal favor intermittently, but output quality varied considerably as administrative control wavered.
