Comment
Mintmark shellInteresting fact
The Dobla coin , which was issued during the reign of John II of Castile and León (1430-1454), features an unusual design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the city of Coruna (also known as A Coruña) on the reverse side. This is significant because it indicates that the coin was minted specifically for use in the city of Coruna, which was an important port city and trading hub in northwestern Spain during that time. The inclusion of the city's coat of arms on the coin highlights the connection between the city and the kingdom, and serves as a symbol of the city's economic and political importance.
