Interesting fact

The 4 Escudos coin from the Kingdom of Majorca (Spanish States) made of Gold (.917) weighing 13.54 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Philip V, who was the first Bourbon king of Spain and ruled from 1700 to 1746. This coin was minted in 1704, which was a significant year for the Kingdom of Majorca, as it was the year that the kingdom was annexed by Spain. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of history that serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Kingdom of Majorca and the Spanish Empire.
