| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays a large Gothic letter 'A' (for Alfonso) surmounted by an ornate royal crown, all set within a beaded inner circle. A small pellet or rosette appears to the right of the letter in the field. The surrounding legend runs between the beaded inner circle and the irregular toothed outer rim, with the text partially visible due to the irregular flan characteristic of hammered coinage. The design is struck in a bold, late medieval Gothic style typical of Castilian mints of the 1460s. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alfonso de Ávila was proclaimed king by rebellious Castilian nobles in June 1465 at the "Farce of Ávila," a theatrical deposition ceremony in which an effigy of the reigning Enrique IV was stripped of its crown and cast from a platform. The Toledo mint, normally under royal control, fell into the hands of the rebel faction and struck coins in Alfonso XII's name during the three years his claim held any practical force. His death in 1468 — likely plague, though poisoning was suspected at the time — collapsed the rebellion before it could be resolved militarily.
Toledo issues from this conflict are distinguishable from legitimate Enrique IV coinage primarily through mint mark and legend variants catalogued under AB#844.
