Additional information

Enrique II's cruzado issues date from the opening years of his reign — years defined entirely by the ongoing civil war against his half-brother Pedro I, whom Enrique killed personally at Montiel in March 1369. The Coruña mint was among the facilities he relied upon to fund loyalist forces and consolidate Trastámara control over Castile, making these early issues instruments of a regime still fighting for survival rather than an established crown.

Álvarez Burgos 452 places this type within the first phase of Enrique's monetary reorganization, before the more stable issues of his later reign.
