Dinero - Alfonso VI Toledo

Alfonso VI took Toledo in 1085, the most significant territorial gain of the Reconquista to that point, and almost immediately began striking coinage in the city to assert his control over the former Taifa capital. These dineros, issued in the years immediately following the conquest, represent the first Christian coinage struck at Toledo since the Visigothic period — a gap of roughly four centuries. The AB#8 classification places this among the earliest of Alfonso's Toledan issues, predating the monetary disruptions that followed the Almoravid invasion of 1086.
