| Additional information |
Pedro I's silver reales were struck during one of the most violent dynastic crises in Castilian history. Pedro spent much of his reign in open civil war against his illegitimate half-brother Enrique de Trastámara, a conflict that ultimately ended with Pedro's murder at Montiel in 1369. The Seville mint was among his most productive, as the city remained a royalist stronghold and a critical source of revenue for his campaigns.
The dating terminal of 1366 reflects the year Enrique briefly seized the throne with French mercenary support under Bertrand du Guesclin, effectively ending Pedro's uncontested minting authority.
