| Obverse description | The obverse bears a multi-line inscription filling the entire field in Gothic Latin lettering, reading ALFONSVS REX CASTELLE ET LEGIONIS, the full royal title of Alfonso X of Castile and León. The legend is arranged in horizontal lines across the coin face rather than as a peripheral legend, a characteristic layout of mid-13th century Castilian billon dineros. The script is executed in the angular Gothic style typical of the Alfonsine monetary reform period, with individual words separated by pellets. The coin exhibits the irregular flan and variable strike quality inherent to hammered medieval coinage of this era. |
