| Reversbeschreibung | Central field displays a passant lion set within a lozenge (diamond-shaped) frame, mirroring the geometric composition of the obverse. The lion, representing the Kingdom of León, is rendered in a stylized Gothic manner consistent with late 15th-century Castilian billon coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the lozenge, reading XPS VINCIT XPS REGNAT, invoking the Laudes Regiae acclamation. The overall strike is characteristic of hammered production at the Toledo mint during the reign of Enrique IV. The flan edges are irregular, typical of this denomination and period. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Enrique IV's monetary policies were among the most chaotic in Castilian history. The king authorized so many independent mints — at one point over 150 operating simultaneously, many privately run under royal license — that the currency collapsed in value and uniformity. The Cortes of 1462 and subsequent assemblies demanded reform repeatedly, and the blancas of this period vary wildly in alloy quality, with many pieces containing so little silver that contemporaries treated them functionally as copper. Toledo, as a royal mint, struck to somewhat higher standards than the licensed provincial operations, though billon composition still fluctuated considerably across the reign's final years.
