Interesting fact

The 5 Groats 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 reign of King Philip IV of Spain, who ruled from 1621 to 1665. This coin was minted in 1641, which was during a time of great economic and political change in Spain and Europe. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the Principality of Catalonia on one side and the crowned shield of the King of Spain on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of history for collectors and historians alike.
