Alfonso IX of León had a long reign marked by conflicts, including with his son Fernando III. He did not take part in the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa and focused on the reconquest of Extremadura. He founded the University of Salamanca, refounded La Coruña, and summoned the Cortes of León in 1188.
In coinage, he minted gold maravedis similar to his father’s but added a bridge, likely the Tormes Bridge in Salamanca, his main mint. Some coins bear a crescent or star, possibly indicating minting in Santiago de Compostela, which received the privilege to mint gold in 1193. Almost XF. Est...25000,00.

Legends separated by rosettes on the obverse and by double saltire crosses on the reverse. Of the highest rarity and numismatic importance.
It may be a striking from a traveling mint, likely in Galicia following its invasion by John of Lancaster himself after his landing in La Coruña.
The obverse legend is inspired by Psalm LXXI “ad Salomonem”: “God grants your judgment to the King and your justice to the daughter of the king,” a clear allusion to John of Gaunt and his wife Constance, daughter of Peter I.

Beatriz de Portugal!!
Kingdom of Castille and Leon. Beatriz de Portugal. 1 real. (1384). Santarem (Portugal). (Bautista-715.1 var. ley.). (Imperatrix-DB:1.3 var. ley.). (Abm-579). Anv.: + DOMINVS: MICHI: ADIVTOR: ET: EGO: DISPI / CIAM: INIMICVS: DOMINVS: MIC. Crowned bust of Doña Beatriz facing left, flanked by S-A. Rev.: + BEATRICIS: D: G: REGINA: CASTELE: ED: PO. Quartered with the arms of Castile and León and the five shields (quinas) of Portugal. . 2,85 g.
Roundel beneath the castle on the right of the 4th quarter. Slight flan crack at the edge, not affecting the legend. Extremely rare and of the highest numismatic interest.
This silver real, of great historical importance, was struck in 1384 during one of the most turbulent periods in Portuguese history, marked by the succession crisis following the death of King Ferdinand I. Beatriz, the king’s only daughter, was designated heir by the Treaty of Salvaterra de Magos (1383), which stipulated her marriage to Juan I of Castile. This agreement guaranteed the separation of the two kingdoms, even under the same sovereign, and included specific conditions for coinage. Coins had to bear the symbols of Portugal and be issued under the queen’s supervision.
After Ferdinand I’s death, his widow, Leonor Téllez, assumed the regency on behalf of Beatriz. However, her authority was not universally accepted. Many cities and nobles refused to recognize Beatriz as queen, and a revolt in Lisbon proclaimed the Master of Avis as Regent and Defender of the Kingdom. Meanwhile, Juan I of Castile claimed his rights to the Portuguese throne, sparking a struggle for control of the realm.
This coin was minted in Santarém between January and March of 1384, during a period in which Leonor still tried to maintain her authority. The obverse features a bust of the monarch modeled after those appearing on the torneses of Ferdinand I, while the reverse displays the quartered arms of Castile and Portugal, symbolizing the proposed union of the crowns under Beatriz. Curiously, the legend on the coin mentions only Beatriz as queen, with no reference to her husband, Juan I of Castile.
Shortly thereafter, the conflicts between Portugal and Castile escalated. The Castilian troops failed to secure control, and in 1385, the Master of Avis was proclaimed King John I of Portugal. He would consolidate his position following his decisive victory over the Castilians at the Battle of Aljubarrota.
Due to the brevity of its issue and the extraordinary circumstances of its minting, this silver real is extremely rare and highly coveted by collectors—not only for its unique typology, but also for its immense historical significance. Choice VF. Est...50000,00.

El periodo histórico de la Edad Media en los reinos de la península data entre los siglos VII y XV. La España cristiana experimentó a partir del siglo X, tras el período de decadencia monetaria que siguió a la invasión islámica, un renacer del sistema monetario gracias a la influencia ejercida por carolingios y los mozárabes llegados de Al-Ándalus.
Al principio se carecía de moneda propia por lo que se utilizaron dírhems de plata islámicos, llamados denarios argénteos. Es probable que las primeras acuñaciones castellanas y aragonesas nacieran ante la negativa de los reinos de taifas a pagar parias.
Podemos distinguir tres épocas diferenciadas en la acuñación de monedas en la Edad Media:
Durante este periodo de historia encontraremos monedas acuñadas por los diferentes reinos que se sucedieron: monedas acuñadas por los reyes de Navarra, los reyes de la Corona de Aragón y monedas acuñadas en los reinos de Castilla y León.
Las monedas más acuñadas fueron: el dinero, la blanca, el novén, el cuartillo, el real, el cornado, o las doblas que se acuñaron en oro.
Los diseños en la Moneda Medieval notaron la influencia del arte gótico sobre ellas.
