Interesting fact
The 2 Deniers coin from the Kingdom of Majorca featuring Carolus I (Ibiza mint; head left) has a unique feature - it was minted using a technique called "testooning," where the dies were not perfectly aligned, resulting in a slightly offset strike. This gives the coin a distinctive look, with the king's head appearing slightly tilted. This error was likely caused by the manual minting process used at the time and adds a touch of character to the coin.
