Interesting fact
The ½ Ducat coin from the Kingdom of Valencia (Spanish States) made of Gold (.990) weighing 1.7 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Charles I (also known as Charles V), who was the first king of Spain and the last king of the House of Habsburg to rule over the Spanish Empire. This coin was likely used as a means of exchange and commerce during his reign, and its gold content and weight would have made it a valuable and reliable form of currency. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in the Kingdom of Valencia, which was a region in the eastern part of Spain, suggests that this coin may have had a specific use or significance within that region.
