| Beschrijving keerzijde | A detailed Gothic castle with three towers, the central tower taller than the flanking ones, each topped with battlements, set within a double linear inner circle. Below the castle, the letter O is visible in the lower field, possibly indicating a mint mark. The surrounding Latin legend names the king and his kingdoms and runs along the outer border of the irregular flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Enrique IV's reign produced some of the most debased coinage in Castilian history, with successive devaluations and the operation of unauthorized private mints driving silver content so low that billon issues like this cuartillo were functionally copper. The monetary chaos became a direct political weapon — rival factions backing the infante Alfonso struck competing currency to undermine royal authority, forcing the 1471 monetary ordinances that attempted, with limited success, to reassert crown control over minting.
