Interesting fact

The ½ Groat coin from the Principality of Catalonia (Spanish States) made of Silver (.917) weighing 1.5 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Alfonso IV (1416-1458) and features an unique design, showcasing the coat of arms of Catalonia on one side and the king's name and title on the other.
