Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dinero "Cornado" coin is that it was issued during the reign of King Sancho IV of Castile and Leon, who was known for his military campaigns against the Moors and his efforts to consolidate power within the kingdom. The coin's design, which features a crowned king on one side and a cross on the other, reflects the political and religious influences of the time. Additionally, the use of billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a common practice during this period, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver or gold coins.
