Interesting fact
The 1 Denaro coin from the Kingdom of Sicily, issued during the reign of Alfonso V (1416-1458), features an interesting fact. Despite being made of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, it weighs only 0.62 grams, making it one of the lightest coins of its time. This is likely due to the economic constraints of the kingdom during that period, which led to the use of cheaper materials and a reduction in the coin's weight to save on production costs.
