Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Count Bernard II of Besalú, who was known for his military campaigns against the Muslim kingdoms in the Iberian Peninsula. The coin's design, featuring a cross on one side and the count's name on the other, reflects the religious and political influences of the time.
