| Aanvullende informatie |
Enrique II came to power by murdering his half-brother Pedro I at Montiel in 1369 — the culmination of a brutal civil war financed largely by French mercenary companies under Bertrand du Guesclin. The reales struck in the immediate aftermath of his seizure of power were part of a deliberate monetary program to assert legitimacy, flooding Castile with coinage bearing his name before any rival claimant could consolidate opposition.
The Coruña mint was among the first authorized under the new regime, operating under tight royal supervision during these early years of the Trastámara dynasty.
