Interesting fact
The Denier coin of Sancho VII from the Kingdom of Navarre is interesting because it was issued during a time of great change in Europe, particularly in the realm of currency. The use of billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a common practice during this period, but it was also a time when many countries were transitioning from bartering to using coinage as a standard form of currency. This coin, with its unique blend of metals and weight, offers a glimpse into the economic and monetary systems of medieval Europe.
