Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - James I (Barcelona, long neck) ND (1213-1276) from Principality of Catalonia (Spanish States) made of Billon (.250 silver) weighing 1 g is that it was minted during the reign of King James I of Aragon, who was also known as James the Conqueror. He was a prominent figure in the history of Catalonia and the Spanish States, and his reign saw the expansion of the Aragonese Empire through the reconquista, the reconquest of Muslim-controlled territories in the Iberian Peninsula. The coin's design, featuring a long-necked king on horseback, is a reflection of the king's powerful image and the influence of French and Muslim artistic styles in the region during that time.
