Urgell's monetary output in the late 13th century operated under constant friction with the Crown of Aragon, as successive counts struggled to maintain independent coinage rights against Aragonese pressure to consolidate Catalan currency. Armengol X — the last count of Urgell of the Cabrera line before the county passed through inheritance disputes into Aragonese royal orbit — issued this dinero from Agramunt, the county's principal mint town and commercial hub on the Segre plain.
The Cabrera succession ended with Armengol X dying without legitimate heirs in 1314, triggering a prolonged inheritance contest that ultimately extinguished the independent county.
