Interesting fact
The Denier coin from the Kingdom of Navarre, issued during the reign of John II and Blanche I (1425-1441), features an interesting fact. Despite being made of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, the coin weighs only 0.82 grams, making it one of the lightest coins of its time. This is likely due to the limited resources available during the period, highlighting the challenges faced by the kingdom in maintaining a stable economy.
