Interesting fact

The Kingdom of Majorca was a short-lived state that existed from 1598 to 1621, and this coin was minted during that time. It's interesting to note that the Kingdom of Majorca was a unique political entity in that it was a union of the islands of Majorca and Minorca, which were part of the Spanish Empire at the time. This coin is a tangible reminder of that brief period in history.
