| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central device depicting a stylized Gothic castle with multiple towers, rendered in the heraldic tradition of the Crown of Castile. The castle is shown frontally within a beaded inner circle, with the surrounding field bearing a partial Latin legend. The type-design is characteristic of the late medieval Castilian dinero coinage, executed with the bold, schematic quality typical of hammered billon issues of the period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device depicting a passant lion, the heraldic symbol of the Kingdom of León, rendered in a stylized Gothic manner characteristic of fourteenth-century Castilian hammered coinage. The lion occupies the central field within a beaded inner circle, with the surrounding legend partially visible around the periphery of the flan. The strike is typical of the irregularly shaped billon dineros issued under Enrique II. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Enrique II founded the Trastámara dynasty on the back of civil war, seizing Castile after killing his half-brother Pedro I at Montiel in 1369. The dineros struck under his reign were part of a broader monetary reorganization meant to stabilize a kingdom exhausted by nearly a decade of intermittent warfare, foreign mercenary debts, and the economic disruption left by Pedro's own debasements. Enrique had promised lavish rewards — the so-called "mercedes enriqueñas" — to the nobility who backed him, and the crown's finances were under sustained pressure throughout his reign.
AB#493 places this among the billon issues of his later years, struck from mints operating under closer royal supervision than his immediate post-war issues.
