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 was an important part of this effort, as it was widely used for transactions and was considered a symbol of the kingdom's wealth and power.
