Interesting fact
The ½ Real coin from the Kingdom of Majorca (Spanish States) made of Silver weighing 1.1g was minted during the reign of Philip III (1598-1621) and features an interesting design element - the shield on the obverse side (front) of the coin bears the emblem of the Kingdom of Majorca, which includes a Moor's head, symbolizing the island's history of Moorish rule. This design element is unique to the coins minted during Philip III's reign and adds to the coin's historical significance and value among collectors.
