Interesting fact
The 3 Cuartos coin from the Principality of Catalonia (Spanish States) made of Copper and weighing 7g is interesting because it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Spain. The reign of Isabella II (1833-1868) was marked by political instability, and the Principality of Catalonia was one of the regions that sought greater autonomy from the central government. The coin's design, featuring the image of Isabella II, symbolized the struggle for power between the central government and the regional provinces. Despite the political tensions, the coin remained in circulation until 1846, when a new currency was introduced. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, serving as a reminder of a pivotal moment in Spanish history.
