| Additional information |
Alfonso X launched his first Granada campaign in 1264 following the Mudéjar revolt, a coordinated uprising backed by Muhammad I of Granada that simultaneously ignited rebellions across Jerez, Murcia, and the Guadalquivir valley. The Crown's finances were stretched hard by simultaneous military commitments, and billon coinage of this type was struck specifically to fund the campaign — part of Alfonso's broader and frequently chaotic monetary program that would plague his reign for decades.
AB#244 is among the more tightly dateable issues in the Alfonsine series, anchored to the four-year conflict rather than the longer conventional regnal ranges assigned to his other dineros.
