| Obverse description | The obverse bears the royal legend of Alfonso X of Castile and Leon, arranged in six lines across the field in Latin characters. The inscription reads ALFONSVS REX CASTELLE ET LEGIONIS, identifying the king by name and his dual royal title. The lettering is characteristic of mid-13th-century Castilian hammered billon coinage, with irregularly struck characters due to the hand-hammering technique. The flan is notably uneven, consistent with the crude minting standards of the period. No figurative motif appears on this side, the text itself constituting the entire design. |
