| Obverse description | Struck in billon, the obverse bears a multi-line Latin legend densely filling the entire field in the Leonese-Castilian denier tradition, with the inscription ALFONSVS REX CASTELLE ET LEGIONIS arranged in horizontal lines across the flan. The lettering is executed in the angular Gothic script characteristic of mid-13th-century Iberian coinage, with individual letters showing the irregular strike typical of hammered production. The flan is noticeably irregular at the edges, a common feature of emergency or wartime issues of this period. No central device is depicted; the legend itself constitutes the sole decorative and identificatory element of the obverse. The overall style is consistent with the utilitarian monetary output associated with Alfonso X's military campaigns during the First Granada War. |
