Interesting fact

The Blanca coin was used as a means of payment in the Kingdom of Castile and Leon during the reign of Henry IV, who ruled from 1462 to 1471. The coin was made of billon, a type of alloy that consists of a mixture of silver and copper. Despite its small weight of 1.5 grams, the Blanca coin played an important role in the economy of the kingdom, serving as a widely accepted medium of exchange for goods and services.
