| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crowned royal bust facing left within a beaded inner circle, depicting King Sancho IV with flowing hair and a prominent crown. The effigy is rendered in the crude but expressive medieval hammered style characteristic of Castilian billon coinage of the late 13th century. The surrounding circular legend reads SANCII REX, identifying the monarch, separated by pellets. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sancho IV seized the Castilian throne in 1284 by displacing his own nephew, Alfonso de la Cerda, triggering a succession dispute that fractured the kingdom for decades. The meaja — half a blanca in the Castilian hierarchy — was the smallest practical unit of account, and Burgos mint production of this type falls within a reorganization of the billon coinage undertaken almost immediately after Sancho's coronation. AB#308 is among the more elusive attributions in the series; the Burgos specimens are distinguished from contemporaneous Toledo output by subtle die characteristics that have generated ongoing disagreement in the specialist literature.
