Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued 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 a period of cultural and intellectual flourishing in the Kingdom of Castile and Leon. The coin itself is a rare and valuable piece, made of billon and weighing only 0.9 grams, which makes it a unique and fascinating artifact from this time period.
