Interesting fact

The 4 Escudos coin from the Kingdom of Valencia (Spanish States) made of Gold (.911) weighing 13.3 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Charles I (also known as Charles V), who was the first king to unite the crowns of Castile, Aragon, and Navarre, thereby creating the Kingdom of Spain. This coin is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the region and is a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
