Comment
Initial year between 1399 and 1403.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Blanca coin from the Kingdom of Castile and Leon is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of Henry III, who ruled from 1400 to 1406. The coin was made of billon, a type of alloy that consists of a mixture of silver and copper, and weighed 2 grams. Despite its small weight, the coin played an important role in the economy of the kingdom during that time.
