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 king who ruled from 1312 to 1350 and is remembered for his military campaigns, administrative reforms, and cultural achievements. The coin's design, which features a crowned king on one side and a cross on the other, reflects the influence of Christianity and the monarch's authority during this time period.
