Description: This small and rare medieval coin from the Kingdom of Castile and Leon dates back to the reign of King Alfonso X and was minted in 1281. The obverse depicts a castle for the ancient city of Castile. The reverse depicts a lion for the ancient city of Leon. Alfonso X claimed the title of Holy Roman emperor in 1256, but Gregory X persuaded him to renounce the claim. His second son became his successor as Sancho IV. Alfonso's court was a center of culture, producing an influential law code, the Siete Partidas, and establishing the form of modern Castilian Spanish. This coin is a valuable addition to any collection of European coins from the medieval era. 2443
