Interesting fact
The Denier coin from the Kingdom of Castile and Leon, which features Alfonso VI, is notable for its unique design. On one side, it features a crowned king, believed to be Alfonso VI, while the other side features a cross with three pelicans. The pelicans are thought to symbolize the three kingdoms that Alfonso VI ruled: Castile, Leon, and Galicia. This design was used during his reign from 1087 to 1090 and was meant to showcase the king's power and influence.
