Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of King John II of Castile, who ruled from 1406 to 1454. This coin is a rare example of a denier, a type of coin that was widely used in medieval Europe, and it is made of billon, a type of alloy that is composed of a mixture of silver and copper. The fact that it weighs 0.9 grams suggests that it was a low-denomination coin, likely used for everyday transactions.
