Interesting fact
The Dinero "Cornado" coin was issued during the reign of King Sancho IV of Castile and León, who ruled from 1284 to 1295. The coin's name "Cornado" means "crowned" in Spanish, which refers to the crown that appears on the coin's obverse (front side) above the king's name. This coin was minted in the city of Murcia, which was an important center for coin production during the Middle Ages. The fact that it was made of billon, a silver-copper alloy, suggests that it was intended for circulation among the general population, as opposed to being a high-value coin made of pure silver or gold.
