This coin is an authentic and rare Kingdom of Castile and Leon Blanca coin from the Medieval era, specifically between 1406-1429 during the reign of King John II.

The obverse of the coin depicts a castle, the Spanish city of Castille. The reverse depicts a lion facing left, the Spanish city of Leon. See photos for condition of coin.

John II of Castile was King of Castile and León from 1406 to 1454. He succeeded his older sister, Maria of Castile, Queen of Aragon, as Prince of Asturias in 1405.

John II's reign, lasting 48 years, was one of the longest in Castilian history, but John himself was not a particularly capable monarch. He spent his time verse-making, hunting, and holding tournaments.

John II died on 20 July 1454 in Valladolid.

The coin is in excellent shape for a 600 year old coin and is a great opportunity to own a piece of history.
