| Aversbeschreibung | Central field displays a crowned castle (the arms of Castile) set within a lozenge (diamond-shaped) frame, itself enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The castle, rendered in the Gothic style typical of late medieval Castilian coinage, shows three towers. The surrounding legend in Latin reads ENRICVS DEI GRA REX C, abbreviated for Enricus Dei Gratia Rex Castellae, identifying the issuer as King Enrique IV. The overall design is characteristic of the hammered billon blancas struck at the Avila mint during the monetary reforms of 1471-1474. |

The Avila blanca belongs to one of the most politically fractured mintings in Castilian history. In 1465, rebel nobles staged the "Farce of Ávila," symbolically deposing Enrique IV by dethroning a straw effigy of the king — and Ávila became the seat of the rival court of the boy-king Alfonso. By 1471, Enrique had reasserted nominal control, but the mint at Ávila continued producing debased billon coinage under conditions of severely compromised royal authority.
The chronic debasement of Enrique's billon issues prompted the monetary reforms codified at the Ordinance of 1471, which this piece postdates by a matter of months at most.
