| Additional information |
Enrique II came to the Castilian throne through civil war, defeating and ultimately arranging the murder of his half-brother Pedro I in 1369. The reales he struck in Toledo during the 1370s were part of a deliberate monetary consolidation — he needed functioning, trusted coinage to legitimize a reign that began in fratricide and depended on French military support to sustain it. Toledo's mint was among the most active of his reform issues.
