Interesting fact
The Denier - Anfus II ND (1164-1196) coin from the Kingdom of Aragon (Spanish States) made of Billon weighing 0.81 g is interesting because it was used as a means of payment during the reign of King Alfonso II, also known as Alfonso the Chaste, who ruled Aragon from 1164 to 1196. This coin was part of a series of coins that were minted during his reign, and it features an image of the king on one side and a cross on the other. The use of billon, a type of alloy made from a mixture of silver and copper, was a common practice during this time period, as it allowed for the creation of coins that were more durable and resistant to wear and tear than those made from pure silver.
