Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ferdinand IV, who was the King of Castile and Leon from 1295 to 1312. He was known for his efforts to strengthen the kingdom and promote trade, which led to the minting of coins like this denier. The coin's design features the king's name and title in Latin, as well as an image of a cross, which symbolized the Christian faith of the kingdom. The use of billon, a copper and silver alloy, was also a common practice during this time period.
