Interesting fact
The 1 Real coin from the Kingdom of Majorca, which was issued during the reign of Philip II (1556-1598), features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of the time. On one side, the coin bears the image of a shield with the arms of the Kingdom of Majorca, while on the other side, it features a cross with the letters "S" and "P" on either side, which stand for "Santa Pau" (Saint Paul), the patron saint of the kingdom. This design was used on many coins issued during Philip II's reign and has become a distinctive feature of Majorcan coins from this period.
