| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features a crowned Gothic monogram of the letter 'E' (for Enrique), enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The crowned monogram is rendered in bold relief characteristic of mid-14th-century Castilian hammered coinage. A dotted border separates the inner circle from the outer legend. The surrounding circular Latin legend reads: DOMINVS MICHI ADIVTOR ET EGO DISPICIAM INIMICOS MEOS, a scriptural invocation from Psalm 118. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Enrique II's claim to Castile was contested from the start — he seized the throne from his half-brother Pedro I in a civil war backed by French mercenary companies under Bertrand du Guesclin, and these coins were struck during the first, unstable phase of his rule before Pedro's final defeat and murder at Montiel in 1369. The billon coinage of this period was chronically debased, a direct consequence of the financial strain of financing foreign troops whose wages Enrique could not meet through taxation alone.
