Interesting fact
The Dobler coin from the Kingdom of Majorca, issued during the reign of James III (1324-1343), is interesting because it was made of Billon, a metal alloy that was commonly used in coinage during the Middle Ages. Billon is a mixture of silver and other metals, such as copper, tin, or lead, and was used to create coins that were more durable and less prone to wear and tear than pure silver coins. The use of Billon in coinage was a common practice in many parts of Europe during this time period, and the Dobler coin is a prime example of this.
