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 for ransom. The coin was minted in Toledo, a city in central Spain, and features an image of the king on one side and the royal coat of arms on the other. The use of gold in the coin's production was a symbol of the kingdom's wealth and power.
