Interesting fact

The 2 Reales coin from the Kingdom of Majorca (Spanish States) made of Silver (.917) weighing 4.8 g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the reign of King Charles I (also known as Charles V), who was the king of Spain and the Holy Roman Emperor from 1536 to 1556. This coin was minted during his reign and bears his name, "Carolus I" on one side, and the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Majorca on the other. This coin is a piece of history that represents the powerful reign of King Charles I and the significance of the Kingdom of Majorca during that time.
