| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field depicts the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) passant, shown in profile facing left, bearing a processional cross or banner on its back, rendered in the Gothic style typical of late 14th-century Castilian coinage. The lamb stands on a ground line, with fine engraved detailing on the fleece and limbs. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding legend, partially visible due to the irregular flan, reads AGNVS DEI QVI TOLI, a truncation of the liturgical phrase Agnus Dei qui tollis peccata mundi. The field shows characteristic uneven strike and surface wear consistent with hammered billon coinage of the reign of Juan I. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Juan I introduced the agnus dei blanca following the dynastic crisis triggered by his defeat at Aljubarrota in 1385, where Castilian forces were routed by Portugal and its English allies. The lamb and flag type carried deliberate devotional weight — Juan had a documented personal attachment to the Franciscan order and used religious iconography aggressively on his coinage in the years after the battle, likely as both piety and political messaging to a shaken kingdom.
The series is catalogued under AB#553 with known die variations in the positioning of the castle-and-lion quartering on the reverse field.
