Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Dobla coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of King John II of Castile and Leon, who ruled from 1430 to 1454. The coin was made of gold and weighed 4.6 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at that time. Additionally, the coin features an image of King John II on one side and the royal coat of arms on the other, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
