Interesting fact

The ½ Trentin coin from the Principality of Catalonia (Spanish States) made of Gold (.990) weighing 3.5 g was minted during the reign of Philip III of Spain, who ruled from 1598 to 1621. This coin was used as a means of payment during a time when Spain was experiencing significant economic growth and cultural flourishing, particularly in the regions of Catalonia and Aragon. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the Principality of Catalonia on one side and the crowned shield of the King of Spain on the other, symbolizing the unity and strength of the Spanish states during that period.
