Enrique II's early coinage reflects the chaos of his reign's opening years — he was still fighting his half-brother Pedro I for the Castilian throne when these pieces entered circulation, the civil war only concluding with Pedro's murder at Montiel in 1369. Billon issues of this period are frequently debased well beyond official standards, a direct consequence of Enrique's desperate need to fund his Trastámara campaign and pay his French mercenary allies under du Guesclin.
AB#431 is among the scarcer fractions of the type.
