Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Philip III of Spain, who ruled from 1598 to 1621. The coin features a bust of the king on one side and the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Majorca on the other. The Kingdom of Majorca was a territory of the Spanish Empire, and this coin was likely used for everyday transactions within the kingdom. Despite its age, the coin is still made of silver, which gives it a high level of durability and value.
