Interesting fact

The ⅓ Trentin coin from the Principality of Catalonia (Spanish States) made of Gold (.990) weighing 2.4 g was minted during the reign of Philip IV (1623-1625) and features an image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of Catalonia on the other. It's interesting to note that this coin was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Spain, and its production was likely a response to the need for a stable currency during this period.
