Comment
Mintmark B of Burgos sometimes looks I or I·Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Alfonso X, also known as Alfonso the Wise, who was a powerful and influential king in the history of Spain. He played a significant role in the Reconquista, the reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula from the Moors, and his reign marked the beginning of a golden age in Castilian history. The coin's design and minting process were likely overseen by the king himself, making it a unique piece of history that reflects the political and economic climate of the time.
