Silver (.035). Mintmark aqueduct under castle.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Blanca - Henry IV (diamond, Segovia) ND (1471-1474) from Kingdom of Castile and Leon (Spanish States) made of Billon weighing 1.1 g is that it features a unique design element - a diamond-shaped mint mark on the reverse side, which is said to represent the city of Segovia, where the coin was minted. This distinctive feature sets it apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a prized collector's item among numismatists.
