Interesting fact
The Kingdom of Majorca was a short-lived state that existed from 1621 to 1665, 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 republic, but it was also a vassal state of the Spanish Empire. This means that while the kingdom had its own government and laws, it was still subject to the authority of the Spanish king. This coin is a tangible reminder of the complex political landscape of Europe during that time period.
