Definition

• A Spanish coin of inferior silver issued from the fourteenth to the sixteenth centuries. It receives its name from its white, shiny appearance, and corresponds to the German Albus and the French Blanc.

  The Blanca Agnus Dei appeared origin- ally in the reign of Juan I (1379-1390), and obtains its designation from the Pas- chal Lamb on the obverse. It was struck at Toledo, Burgos, etc. See De La Torre, Description des monnaies espagnoles . 1852. (No. 6430).
