| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field depicting a crowned rampant lion passant, the heraldic symbol of the Kingdom of León, rendered in low relief with the characteristic crude workmanship typical of Enrique IV billon coinage. The lion faces left within the field, its crown visible above the head. A partial circular Latin legend surrounds the device, with lettering distributed around the irregularly shaped flan. The surfaces display characteristic dark patination and flan irregularities consistent with hammered billon production of the Castilian mint at Córdoba during the 1462–1471 period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Enrique IV's maravedí issues are inseparable from the monetary catastrophe he engineered. Between 1462 and 1471, he authorized an explosion of private mints — at peak, over 150 were operating simultaneously across Castile — producing billon so debased it was largely copper in name as well as fact. The resulting inflation gutted confidence in the currency and contributed directly to the political crisis that would eventually bring Isabella and Ferdinand to power.
Córdoba was among the authorized mints during this period. The AB#792 type is documented in Álvaro Campaner's corpus of Castilian billon, though attribution of individual pieces to specific mints within this series requires careful die study.
