Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Maravedi coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of Henry IV of Castile, who ruled from 1454 to 1474. The coin was made of billon, a type of alloy that consists of a mixture of silver and copper. Despite its small weight of 2.4 grams, the Maravedi was an important coin in the economy of the Kingdom of Castile and Leon during that time.
