Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denaro Paparino - Urban VI ND (1378-1389) coin from Viterbo (Papal States) is that it was made of Billon, a type of alloy that was commonly used in the production of coins during the medieval period. Billon is a mixture of silver and other metals, such as copper, tin, or lead, and it was used to create a coin that was lighter in weight and had a lower intrinsic value than a solid silver coin. Despite its lower value, the Denaro Paparino - Urban VI ND coin was still widely used in trade and commerce during its time.
