Interesting fact
The ½ Real coin from the Kingdom of Majorca, issued during the reign of James II (1276-1311), features a unique design element - a crescent moon and stars on the reverse side, which symbolizes the kingdom's connection to the Islamic world. This design was a departure from the traditional Christian imagery found on most European coins of the time, reflecting the diverse cultural influences present in the Kingdom of Majorca during its history.
