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 Ramirez, 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 an elegant bust of Sancho V to the left, was likely used as a means of exchange and commerce during his reign.
