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 other metals, such as copper, tin, or lead, and was used to create coins that were lighter in weight and had a lower intrinsic value than solid silver coins. The use of Billon in coinage allowed for the production of more coins with less silver, which helped to facilitate trade and commerce.
