Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Sancho I, who was the first king of the Kingdom of Majorca, which was a medieval state that existed from 1276 to 1344. The coin features an image of Sancho I on one side and the coat of arms of the kingdom on the other. The use of billon, a type of alloy made from a mixture of metals, was a common practice during this time period, as it allowed for the production of coins with a lower intrinsic value than coins made from precious metals like gold or silver.
