Another fantastic coin panzerman, congrats!

 

interesting and lovely coin!

so is that a "pseudo-arabic" language coin issued by the christian king?

 

Thanks for nice comments!
Yes, these were struck by the Christian Kingdom of Castile & Leon, later on they would use their own designs. Actually, I just looked up the prices realized from Numisma Auction and noticed that coin was "unsold" (this is what I do before going to work around 6:00AM)....I could not resist the temptation
