Interesting fact
The Blanca coin was issued during the reign of King John II of Castile and Leon, who ruled from 1406 to 1429. This coin was made of billon, a type of alloy that consists of a mixture of silver and copper. The fact that it weighs 1.6 grams suggests that it was a relatively small coin, which was likely used for everyday transactions. It's worth noting that the Kingdom of Castile and Leon was a powerful and influential kingdom in the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages, and its coins were widely used throughout Europe. The Blanca coin, in particular, was an important denomination that was used for many years and was widely accepted in trade.
