Dinero - Urraca Leon

Descrizione del dritto	Central cross pattée enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with four small star-like or pellet ornaments filling the quadrants between the arms of the cross. The surrounding field displays the royal legend in Latin characters arranged around the periphery, running along the outer edge of the coin. The overall design is characteristic of Leonese medieval hammered coinage, with a somewhat crude though bold execution typical of early twelfth-century Iberian minting practice.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Urraca's reign began in crisis: her father Alfonso VI died in 1109 leaving her the sole legitimate heir, making her the first ruling queen of León and Castile. Her ex-husband Alfonso I of Aragon — whom she had divorced but remained politically entangled with — contested her authority almost immediately, and the coinage issued under her name was produced against a backdrop of near-continuous civil war. The three-year window this type spans reflects the period before her position stabilized enough for consistent monetary administration.
