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 issued during the reign of King James II of Aragon, who was also known as James the Just. He was a prominent figure in the history of Catalonia and the Spanish States, and his reign saw the expansion of trade and commerce in the region. The coin's design and minting process were likely overseen by the King's officials, making it a unique piece of history that has survived to this day.
