Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - James II (Barcelona) ND (1291-1327) from Principality of Catalonia (Spanish States) made of Billon (.250 silver) weighing 1 g is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of James II of Aragon, who ruled over a large portion of the Iberian Peninsula in the 13th and early 14th centuries. This coin was likely used in everyday transactions and could have been used to purchase goods such as food, clothing, and other necessities. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin is a significant piece of history and a reminder of the economic and cultural exchange that took place during this time period.
