Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Blanca coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of King Henry III of Castile, who ruled from 1390 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 of Castile and Leon during that time.
