en: The medieval and modern (christian) mint located in the city of Valencia, Spain. It was in operation throughout the feudal Middle Ages (13th-15th centuries), the Modern Age, and the Contemporary Age. It was established by King James I of Aragon in 1247, a few years after he had conquered the city (known as Balansiya) from the Muslims. The initial coinage, consisting of silver pennies (reals), was issued in the name of James I in the years 1247/1249 and 1271, and the activity ceased until the mid-14th century when King Peter IV of Aragon resumed minting to produce gold florins. With subsequent reigns, starting from John I of Aragon, the Valencia mint produced coins in silver, gold, and copper, until its closure in the 19th century. For the muslim mint of Valencia, see "Balansiyah".
