Interesting fact
The Dobler - Alfonso V ND (1416-1458) coin from the Kingdom of Majorca (Spanish States) is interesting because it was made of Billon, a metal alloy that was commonly used in the Middle Ages for coinage. Billon is a mixture of silver and other metals, usually copper, tin, or lead. The use of Billon in coinage was popular during this time period because it was more durable than pure silver and was also less expensive to produce. This coin, in particular, weighs 1.28 grams and features Alfonso V, the King of Aragon and Sicily, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Majorca on the other.
