Interesting fact
The County of Ausona (Spanish States) coin, the Dinero (tree) ND (1102-1109), made of silver weighing 0.4 g, is interesting because it is a rare example of a coin that was issued by a local authority in Spain during the 12th century. The County of Ausona was a small region in the north of Spain, and the fact that they issued their own coins speaks to the level of autonomy and economic activity that the region had at the time. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's production indicates that the region had access to valuable resources and was capable of producing high-quality currency.
