Interesting fact

The Denier coin from the Kingdom of Navarre, issued during the reign of John II (1441-1479), features an interesting fact. Despite being made of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, it weighs only 0.69 grams, making it one of the lightest coins of its time. This unique fact highlights the innovative approach of the Kingdom of Navarre in minting coins during the 15th century.
