Interesting fact

The Denier coin of Philipus I of Aragon (1556-1598) was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in the Kingdom of Aragon. The coin's design features the king's name and title in Latin, "PHILIPPUS I DEI GRATIA," and the reverse side features a cross with three pelicans, symbolizing the king's role as a protector of the faith. The use of billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a common practice during this time period, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver or gold coins. Despite its relatively low value, the Denier coin played an important role in the economy of the Kingdom of Aragon and was widely used for everyday transactions.
