Interesting fact
The Alfonsino minuto coin from the Kingdom of Sardinia (Italian States) is interesting because it was issued during the reign of King Alfonso IV, who was known for his efforts to stabilize the economy and promote trade in the region. Despite being made of a relatively low-value material, the Billon, the coin was still widely used and valued during its time. Additionally, the coin's design features the king's name and title in a unique font and layout, making it a distinctive and collectible piece for numismatists.
