Interesting fact
The Denier coin of Alfonso XI (Leon) ND (1331-1332) from the Kingdom of Castile and Leon (Spanish States) was made of Billon, a type of alloy that consists of a mixture of silver and copper. This coin was one of the first coins to use this type of alloy, which was a significant innovation in coinage at the time. The use of Billon in coins allowed for a more durable and resistant currency, and it became a standard practice in coinage for centuries to come.
