| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field depicts a stylized facing bust of Alfonso VII in a primitive Romanesque style, with schematic facial features including pellet eyes and a broad nose. The figure appears to wear a crown or regal headdress, and the bust is flanked by partial decorative elements in the field. The design is characteristic of the crude hammered coinage of 12th-century Iberian mints. The partial circular legend referencing LEGIONIS (León) runs along the periphery. The flan is irregular and the overall strike is off-center, typical of this period's production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Alfonso VII's assumption of the imperial title in 1135 — crowned Imperator totius Hispaniae at León in a ceremony attended by the kings of Navarre and Aragon as vassals — directly prompted a reorganization of royal coinage to project the new political order. The dinero issues attributed to this reign are among the earliest billon pieces to carry explicit imperial pretension in Iberian numismatics.
Billon quality varied sharply across Leonese and Castilian mints in this period, and surviving examples show considerable alloy inconsistency even within the same type.
