Description: This coin, which was minted in the years 1471-1474, in the now Spanish city states of Castile and Leon, is a rare find for collectors of world coins. With a history that dates back over 500 years, this coin is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of King Henry IV. The obverse of the coin depicts a castle (the city of Castile) and the reverse is a lion (the city of Leon). King Henry IV's father died on 20 July 1454 and he was proclaimed king the following day. One of King Henry's first priorities was the alliance with Portugal. He achieved this by marrying a second time to Joan of Portugal, daughter of King Edward of Portugal, in 1455; and by meeting her brother King Afonso V of Portugal in Elvas in 1456. His other main concerns were the possibility of intervention from King John II of Navarre, establishing peace with France and Aragon, and pardoning various aristocrats. In addition to its historical significance, this coin is a great addition to any collection of world coins. This 1471-1474 coin from the Kingdom of Castile and Leon is a must-have for any serious collector. 1752
