Interesting fact
The 5 Groats (La Bisbal) coin from the Principality of Catalonia (Spanish States) made of Silver (.931) weighing 12 g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the Catalan Revolt (1640-1659), a time of political and military conflict between Catalonia and the Spanish Monarchy. Despite the turmoil, the coin still maintained its standard design and silver purity, showcasing the resilience and stability of the Catalan economy during that period.
