Interesting fact

The 4 Cornados coin from the Kingdom of Navarre (Spain) was used as a form of currency during the reign of Philip III in the early 17th century. What's interesting about this coin is that it was made of copper, which was a relatively cheap metal at the time, yet it was still used as a form of currency. This shows that even coins made of less valuable materials can still hold significant value and play an important role in a country's economy.
