Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Kingdom of Majorca, which was a Spanish state at the time. The coin was minted in 1633, just a few years after the Catalan Revolt, a rebellion against Spanish rule that lasted from 1640 to 1652. Despite the political instability, the coin still bears the image of King Philip IV of Spain, indicating the continued Spanish influence over the region.
