Comment
Imitation of the Denier of Alfonso, king of Castille and Leon (see link).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of Aymar V, who was the Count of Valentinois and Diois, and it was made of billon, a type of alloy that was commonly used in coinage during the Middle Ages. Despite its small weight of 0.89 grams, the coin was widely used in trade and commerce throughout the region.
