Comment
MInted during the revolt Brotherhoods of Mallorca https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brotherhoods_of_MallorcaInteresting fact
The 2 Deniers coin from the Kingdom of Majorca featuring Carolus I (Ibiza mint; head right) ND (1521-1523) is interesting because it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the region. The Kingdom of Majorca was a short-lived state that emerged from the dissolution of the Crown of Aragon, and this coin was minted during the reign of Charles I, who was the first king of the kingdom. The coin's design, featuring the king's head right, was a common motif in coinage during this period, and the use of copper as the material for the coin reflects the economic conditions of the time. Despite its historical significance, the coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors today.
