Dinero - Enrique II Leon

Enrique II came to power through one of medieval Iberia's most prolonged civil wars, having spent nearly two decades fighting his half-brother Pedro I — the man history would split into "the Cruel" and "the Just" depending on which chronicle you trusted. The war ended at Montiel in 1374, where Pedro was killed in a tent, reportedly by Enrique's own hand. This dinero belongs to the monetary reorganization that followed, as Enrique attempted to stabilize a currency badly debased by wartime emergency issues from both sides of the conflict.

AB#498 is among the more commonly encountered dineros of his reign, though billon survivorship from fourteenth-century Castile remains uneven.
