Comment
Of Felipe III in Calico catalog Ed. 2008Interesting fact
The ½ Real coin from the Kingdom of Majorca (Spanish States) made of Silver (.917) weighing 1.2 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Philip II, who was the king of Spain and the Spanish colonies in the 16th century. This coin was used as a standard circulation coin in the Kingdom of Majorca, which was a territory that was part of the Spanish Empire at that time. Despite its small size and weight, this coin was an important part of the economy and daily life of the people living in the Kingdom of Majorca during that period.
