Interesting fact

The Blanca coin from the Kingdom of Castile and Leon, minted during the reign of John II (1429-1454), features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was minted in the city of Seville. This small cross has become a distinctive feature of coins minted in Seville during this period and is highly sought after by collectors today.
