Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Real coin from the Kingdom of Castile and Leon is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of King Henry II, who ruled from 1366 to 1369. Despite being made of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, the coin was still considered valuable and widely used in trade and commerce during that time.
