Interesting fact

The Denier coin of Alfonso XI of Castile and Leon, minted in Seville between 1331 and 1332, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical cross or other religious symbols, this coin bears an image of a castle, which is believed to represent the castle of Seville, where the coin was minted. This unique design element sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a fascinating piece for collectors and historians.
