| Beschrijving voorzijde | Royal legend arranged in six horizontal lines across the field, rendered in Gothic Latin lettering. The inscription reads ALFONSVS REX CASTELLE ET LEGIONIS, identifying the issuer as Alfonso X, King of Castile and Leon. The lettering is crudely struck, as is characteristic of hammered billon coinage of this period, with the text filling the entire flan. No mint mark is present, consistent with the no-mark variety. The irregular flan edges and weak areas of strike reflect the primitive minting methods of 13th-century Castilian small coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The meaja issues of Alfonso X fall directly within the first Granada war, a conflict triggered in 1264 when the Nasrid ruler Muhammad I coordinated a widespread Mudéjar uprising across Castile and Murcia. The crown's finances were under severe pressure throughout, and billon fractional coinage of this weight class was struck to meet immediate transactional demand in a kingdom simultaneously fighting on multiple fronts and absorbing the costs of the Reconquista's administrative consolidation.
AB#247 is among the more difficult Alfonso X fractions to attribute cleanly given the absence of a mint mark.
