| Additional information |
Sancho IV introduced the cornado as a direct monetary response to the chaos of his disputed succession — his father Alfonso X had disinherited him in favor of the Infantes de la Cerda, and stabilizing coinage was part of a broader campaign to assert legitimate royal authority after Alfonso's death in 1284. The type takes its common name from the small horn-like protrusion on the crown, a feature distinctive enough that contemporaries and later cataloguers alike used it to distinguish these issues from earlier Leonese dineros.
Burgos was the primary mint for this emission, though the type was struck at multiple Castilian mints simultaneously under royal license.
