| Additional information |
Fernando IV inherited the throne at age nine in 1295, and the regency years that followed were defined by noble factionalism and competing claims from his uncle Juan and the Portuguese crown. Coinage struck under his name during this period reflects an administration struggling to assert fiscal control — multiple mints operated with inconsistent supervision, and billon fineness varied enough across issues that contemporary complaints about debased coin appear in the Cortes records.
AB#327 falls within a reign cut short at thirty-six when Fernando died suddenly at Jaén in 1312, earning the posthumous epithet *el Emplazado* — the Summoned — after legend held that two brothers he had executed challenged him to answer before God within thirty days.
