Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Dinero "Cornado" coin is that it was issued during the reign of Alfonso XI of Castile, who was also known as Alfonso the Wise. He was a powerful and influential king who ruled over a large portion of the Iberian Peninsula during the 14th century. The coin's design, which features a crowned king on one side and a cross on the other, reflects the king's efforts to consolidate his power and promote Christianity throughout his kingdom. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the Dinero "Cornado" coin is a significant piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political climate of medieval Spain.
