Juan and Blanca ruled Navarre jointly following their marriage in 1419, though the kingdom's political reality was considerably less harmonious than the coinage implies. Blanca held the dynastic claim as queen regnant; Juan — later Juan II of Aragon — wielded the actual power, a tension that would eventually fracture the kingdom and drag Navarre into decades of civil war between their respective heirs, the Agramonteses and the Beaumonteses.
Billon coinage of this type circulated heavily in a small, landlocked kingdom with limited silver resources, and survivors in uncleaned condition are genuinely scarce.
