Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dobla coin is that it was used as a means of payment for the ransom of King John II of Castile, who was captured by the Moors in 1439 and held captive for several years. The coin was minted in the city of Burgos, which was an important center of trade and commerce during the Middle Ages.
