Interesting fact

The James I Denier coin from the Kingdom of Valencia (Spanish States) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of James I, who was the King of Aragon and Valencia, and Count of Barcelona, from 1213 to 1276. This was a period of significant political and social unrest, with the rise of city-states and the decline of feudalism. Despite these challenges, the Kingdom of Valencia was able to maintain its independence and prosperity, and the James I Denier coin is a testament to the kingdom's economic and cultural achievements during this time.
