Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier coin from the Kingdom of Castile and Leon is that it was minted during the reign of Pedro I, also known as Pedro the Cruel, who was known for his controversial and often brutal rule. Despite his reputation, his coinage reforms, which included the introduction of the Denier, were seen as a positive development for the kingdom's economy.
