| Aversbeschreibung | Central field dominated by a large Gothic crowned monogram comprising the interlaced letters 'h' and 'E' (for Henricus/Enrique), surmounted by an elaborate Gothic crown with fleur-de-lis finials and trefoil arches rendered in high relief. The monogram is set within a floriate surround of scrolling Gothic foliage. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, partially visible due to the irregular flan typical of hammered coinage of this period. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Enrique IV's later coinage is inseparable from the monetary catastrophe he created. Decades of debasing the vellón coinage to fund his wars and his court had so thoroughly destroyed public confidence that by 1471 silver fractional pieces like this were being hoarded on contact — they were simply too trustworthy to spend. The Ordenamiento of 1471 was a belated attempt to stabilize the currency, and the Seville mint's output under that reform is what this piece belongs to.
Seville's assayers during this window were working under direct pressure from the Crown, with quality controls tightened after years of unauthorized debasement at provincial mints.
