Dobler - Alfonso V

Alfonso V of Aragon, who held the Kingdom of Majorca as part of his broader Aragonese domains, spent much of his reign physically absent from Iberia — he relocated to Naples in 1432 following his conquest of the city and never returned to the Crown of Aragon. Coinage struck in his name for Majorca continued regardless, administered by local officials operating under royal license. The billon dobler belongs to a period of chronic small-change shortages across the western Mediterranean, where debased fractional issues were repeatedly authorized to keep markets functional.
