Interesting fact
The 2 Deniers coin from the Kingdom of Majorca, issued 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 mixture of silver and other metals, such as copper or tin, and was valued for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. Despite being made of a relatively inexpensive material, the coin still holds historical significance and is a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
