Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Peter IV of Aragon, who was also known as Peter the Ceremonious. He was known for his elaborate ceremonies and festivals, which often featured lavish displays of wealth and power. Despite this, the coin itself is made of a relatively low-value material, billon, which is an alloy of silver and copper. This suggests that the coin may have been intended for everyday use by common people, rather than being a high-value coin reserved for the wealthy elite.
