Interesting fact
The Blanca "agnus dei" coin featuring John I (Segovia) from the Kingdom of Castile and Leon (Spanish States) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Spain. The coin was minted during the reign of John I, who ruled from 1379 to 1390, a period marked by the transition from a feudal society to a more centralized and modern state. The coin's design, which features the image of a lamb on one side and the king's name and title on the other, reflects the influence of Christianity and the power of the monarchy during this time. Additionally, the fact that it was made of billon, a copper and silver alloy, suggests that it was intended for widespread use among the general population, highlighting the importance of coinage in facilitating trade and commerce during this period.
