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 new era of prosperity and cultural flowering in the region. The coin itself is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Kingdom of Castile and Leon, and its unique design and composition make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
