Meaja - Alfonso X Coruna

Alfonso X's monetary reforms of the 1270s and 1280s were chronically unstable — repeated devaluations of the billon coinage triggered noble rebellions and contributed directly to the revolt of his own son, the future Sancho IV. The meaja was the smallest fractional unit in this debased system, worth half a dinero, and issues from the Coruña mint date to the final, politically turbulent years of Alfonso's reign.

Álvarez Burgos 282 is among the scarcer mint attributions for this type.
