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 coinage during the medieval period. Billon is a mixture of silver and copper, and it was used to create coins that were more durable and resistant to wear and tear than coins made of pure silver. The use of Billon in coinage was a common practice in many parts of Europe during this time, and it allowed for the creation of coins that were both practical and aesthetically pleasing.
