Interesting fact

The Denier coin of Alfonso VII of Castile and Leon, minted in Segovia between 1126 and 1157, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical cross or other religious symbol, this coin bears an image of a tree, believed to be a symbol of the Tree of Life. This unique design element has sparked interest among numismatists and historians, who see it as a reflection of the cultural and religious influences of the time.
