Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Dobla coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of Pedro I of Castile, also known as Pedro the Cruel, who ruled from 1350 to 1366. Despite his nickname, Pedro I is remembered for his efforts to promote trade and commerce during his reign, which helped to increase the prosperity of the Kingdom of Castile and Leon. The Dobla coin, made of gold and weighing 2.6 grams, was likely used for large transactions and was a symbol of the wealth and power of the kingdom during that time.
