Interesting fact
The ½ Groat coin from the Kingdom of Navarre, minted during the reign of Charles III (1387-1390), is interesting because it was used as a means of payment during the time of the Black Death, a pandemic that devastated Europe in the 14th century. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, the coin's production continued, indicating the resilience of the Navarrese economy during this period.
