Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of 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 and materials reflect the economic and political influence of the Principality of Catalonia during this time period.
