Interesting fact
The Denier coin of Alfonso XI (Toledo) 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 copper, silver, and other metals. This coin was one of the first coins to use Billon as a material, which was a significant innovation in coinage technology at the time. The use of Billon allowed for the production of coins that were more durable and resistant to wear and tear, making them more practical for everyday use.
