| Reversbeschreibung | Central field bears a crowned Gothic lion of Leon passant, set within a diamond-shaped (lozenge) frame mirroring the obverse design. The lion is depicted in a stylised medieval manner typical of Castilian billon coinage of the 1470s. A beaded inner border frames the central device, while the partial Christogram Latin legend, invoking the triumph and reign of Christ, runs along the outer margin of the flan. The strike is characteristically weak and the flan irregular, consistent with hammered production at the Segovia mint. The overall design reflects the monetary reform coinage authorised under Enrique IV. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Enrique IV's monetary policy was a catastrophe by any measure. Decades of debasement — carried out partly to fund noble bribes and shore up a crumbling political coalition — left Castilian billon coinage so degraded that merchants routinely refused it. The so-called "Sentence of Medina del Campo" in 1465 was a direct response to the monetary disorder, and reform efforts in the early 1470s produced several short-lived transitional types, of which this Segovian blanca is one.
Segovia's mint, powered by the river Eresma, was among the most technically advanced in the kingdom and one of the few capable of consistent output during the period's chronic bullion shortages.
