Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Groats (Agramunt, retrograde) coin from the Principality of Catalonia is that it features a unique reverse design, with the shield of Catalonia facing backwards, which is why it's called "retrograde." This design was used during the reign of King Philip IV of Spain, who was also known as Philip the Great. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the king's power and influence over the region, and it's a distinctive feature that sets it apart from other coins of the time.
