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 played a significant role in the Reconquista, the reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula from the Moors, and expanded the kingdom's territories through military campaigns. This coin, bearing his image, was likely used to finance his military efforts and administrative expenses during his reign.
