Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier coin of Henry III from the Kingdom of Castile and Leon is that it was made of Billon, which is an alloy of silver and copper. This was a common practice during that time period, as pure silver was too soft to be used for coins and Billon was a more durable alternative. Despite being made of a base metal, the coin still held significant value and was widely used in trade and commerce.
