Comment
SS is a mark of Alfonso SánchezInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ferdinand II of Aragon, also known as Ferdinand the Catholic, who was a prominent figure in the unification of Spain. He was the first king to rule over both Aragon and Castile, and his reign marked the beginning of the Spanish Empire. This coin, minted in the Kingdom of Valencia, is a small denomination coin made of billon, a silver-copper alloy, and weighs only 0.75 grams. Despite its small size and value, it is a significant piece of history that reflects the economic and political changes taking place during that time.
