Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Sancho V, who was also known as Sancho Ramírez, and was the King of Pamplona and Aragon from 1063 to 1094. He was known for his military campaigns against the Moors and his efforts to consolidate his power and expand his kingdom. This coin, which features a crude bust of the king, was likely used in everyday transactions during his reign and provides a glimpse into the economic and monetary systems of the time.
