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 a member of the Jiménez dynasty and played a significant role in the Reconquista, the reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula from the Moors. This coin, which features a primitive bust of Sancho V to the left, was likely used during his reign and is a testament to the economic and political activity of the Kingdom of Pamplona and Aragon during that time.
