| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central device depicting the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) passant, shown in profile facing left with a cross-staff surmounted by a banner rising from its back, rendered in a stylised medieval manner characteristic of late 14th-century Castilian billon coinage. The figure is enclosed within a plain inner circle. The surrounding circular legend in Latin reads + IOANES : REX : CASTELE : L, identifying Juan I as King of Castile and Leon. The lettering is executed in Gothic characters typical of the period, separated by pellet stops. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Juan I introduced the agnus dei blanca following the trauma of Aljubarrota in August 1385, where his catastrophic defeat by Portuguese and English forces effectively ended Castilian ambitions over Portugal. The religious imagery was almost certainly a deliberate political act — a king publicly humbled before God, recasting military failure as Christian piety. The Zamora mint was one of several authorized to strike this type, and output varied considerably between them.
AB#559 distinguishes the Zamora issue by mintmark. Dies for this denomination were shared, recut, and reassigned with enough frequency that attribution without the mark is unreliable.
