Dinero - Fernando I

Fernando I of Aragon — also known as Fernando de Antequera — ruled Majorca as part of the Crown of Aragon following the Compromise of Caspe in 1412, the extraordinary arbitration that ended the interregnum after the extinction of the male Barcelonese line. His reign lasted only four years before his death in 1416, making issues attributable to his rule on the island inherently short-series pieces. The billon content of these dineros was already debased well below earlier medieval Majorcan issues, reflecting the chronic fiscal strain that had plagued the kingdom since the Aragonese absorption of the island in 1343.
