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 economic and political turmoil in Spain, and the production of coins was affected by the ongoing conflict. Despite these challenges, the 5 Groats coin remained a widely used denomination in Catalonia and other parts of Spain, and its design has become a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
