Interesting fact
The Andorran Denier coin from the 1000-1100s is interesting because it was made of Billon, a metal alloy that was commonly used in medieval Europe for coinage. Billon is a mixture of silver and other metals, usually copper, and was valued for its durability and resistance to wear and tear. The fact that this coin was made of Billon suggests that it was intended for everyday use and circulation, and that it was an important part of the economy in Andorra during that time period.
