Interesting fact
The Denier coinage of Alfonso VIII of Castile, also known as the "Stars 1-4" denier, was minted during the king's reign from 1158 to 1214. It was made of billon, a silver-copper alloy, and weighed 0.9 grams. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a small cross pattée (a cross with arms that are narrow at the center and broaden towards the ends) on the obverse (front) side of the coin, which was a distinctive feature of Alfonso VIII's coinage. This cross pattée was not found on previous or subsequent coinage of the Kingdom of Castile, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
