Origenes Iberos Commemorative Medal (Valencia)

Brief Description

A copper-toned circular medal featuring circular text around the rim reading 'ORIGENES IBEROS' and 'SIGLO IV a.C.'. The center inscription commemorates King James I and the 'Carta Puebla' of Valencia dated March 28, 1249.

Historical Significance

This is a commemorative token rather than legal tender. It refers to the reign of James I of Aragon and the 'Carta Puebla', a document that established the legal framework and re-population for the city of Valencia after the Reconquista in the 13th century.

Estimated Value

$5.00 - $15.00 USD (Collectors' value for commemorative tokens)

Care Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To maintain the patina, do not clean with abrasive chemicals or polish; if necessary, wipe gently with a soft, lint-free cloth.
