Comment
Mintmark aqueductInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Blanca coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of Henry III of Castile, who ruled from 1390 to 1406. The coin was made of billon, a type of alloy that is composed of a mixture of metals, and it weighed 2 grams. Despite its small weight, the coin was widely used in trade and commerce during that time period.
