| Additional information |
Pere II — known as Pere el Catòlic — came to the Aragonese throne in 1196 inheriting a monetary system already complicated by the competing coinages of Aragon and Catalonia. His reign ended abruptly at the Battle of Muret in September 1213, where he was killed fighting against Simon de Montfort's crusading forces — a Catalan-Aragonese king dead on French soil defending his Occitan vassals against a papal-sanctioned campaign.
Billon deniers of this type circulated across both sides of the Pyrenees, reflecting the Crown's extensive interests in Languedoc before Muret foreclosed them permanently.
