Interesting fact

The County of Ausona (Spanish States) Dinero coin from 1244-1264 is interesting because it was made during a time of great change in the region. The County of Ausona was formed in 1238 as a result of the fragmentation of the Kingdom of Aragon, and it was during this time that the need for a standardized currency arose. The Dinero coin was introduced as a replacement for the various local currencies that were being used, and it was used throughout the County of Ausona and other nearby regions. Despite its small weight of 0.8 grams, the Dinero coin played a significant role in facilitating trade and commerce in the region during this time.
