Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of John II of Navarre, who was also known as John the Great. He was a powerful king who ruled Navarre for over 30 years and was known for his military campaigns and diplomatic skills. Despite being made of billon, a relatively low-value metal, this coin was still considered a standard circulation coin and was widely used in the Kingdom of Navarre during that time.
