Interesting fact
The 1 Denier coin from the Kingdom of Valencia, minted during the reign of Carolus I (1516-1556), is interesting because it was made of Billon, a metal alloy that was commonly used in the production of coins during that time period. Billon is a combination of silver and copper, and it was valued for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. The fact that this coin was made of Billon suggests that it was intended for everyday use and circulation, and it likely saw a lot of handling and transactions during its time in circulation. Additionally, the fact that it weighs 1 gram suggests that it was a small coin, making it easy to handle and transport.
