Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Blanca "agnus dei" coin is that it features a unique design element - a small lamb's head on the reverse side, which is where the coin gets its name "agnus dei" meaning "lamb of God" in Latin. This design was a symbol of purity and innocence, and it was often used in medieval art and architecture.
