Interesting fact

The Dobla coin , issued during the reign of Alfonso X of Castile and León, is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was used as a means of payment for the soldiers who fought in the Spanish Reconquista, a period of time when the Christian kingdoms of northern Spain gradually reconquered the Iberian Peninsula from the Moors. This coin played a significant role in financing the military campaigns that led to the eventual recapture of the region.
