Interesting fact
The Denier coin from the Kingdom of Castile and Leon, which features John II (Burgos) on one side and the royal coat of arms on the other, was used as a means of payment for goods and services during the 15th century. Despite its small weight of 0.9 grams, it was widely accepted as a valid form of currency throughout the kingdom. This coin's design and value were standardized across the kingdom, making it an important symbol of the unified currency system in place during that time.
