Interesting fact
The Denier - Karolus I ND (1555) coin from the Kingdom of Aragon (Spanish States) is interesting because it was made of Billon, a metal alloy that was commonly used in the 16th century for coinage. Billon is a mixture of silver and copper, and it was used to create coins that looked like they were made of pure silver but were actually less valuable. This coin, in particular, weighs 1 gram and features an image of King Charles I on one side and the Aragonese coat of arms on the other. Despite its relatively low value, the coin is still considered a collector's item and can be found in auctions and online marketplaces.
