The 35 maravedís of Pedro I, also known as Pedro the Cruel or Pedro the Just, are a coin minted in the Kingdom of Castile during his reign, which lasted from 1350 to 1366. This period was marked by great political tensions and conflicts, both internal and external.
The maravedí was a monetary unit used in the Iberian Peninsula, and its value fluctuated over time. Under Pedro I, the maravedí was a silver coin, and its minting was part of the king's effort to strengthen the kingdom's economy and his own power.
Pedro I is a controversial historical figure, known for his authoritarian nature and his methods of government, which often included violence. However, he is also admired by some for his reforms in justice and his attempt to stabilize the kingdom in the face of threats from nobles and other enemies.
