| Additional information |
Fernando IV inherited the Castilian throne at age nine in 1295, and the regency period that followed was fractious enough that monetary policy was essentially improvised. Rival claimants — including his great-uncle Alfonso de la Cerda — destabilized the kingdom for most of his reign, and debasement of the billon coinage was a predictable consequence of chronic treasury pressure.
The Seville mint had been operating under Castilian control since Fernando III's conquest of the city in 1248, and by Fernando IV's time it was one of the more productive southern mints. AB#325 is among the humbler issues of a reign not remembered for monetary stability.
