Interesting fact

The 5 Pesetas coin from the Principality of Catalonia (Spanish States) made of Silver (.903) weighing 27g is interesting because it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Spain. The coin was issued between 1808 and 1814, a period when Spain was under French occupation, and the Principality of Catalonia was one of the regions that resisted French rule. The coin's design, which features the coat of arms of Catalonia and the Spanish royal crest, reflects the political tensions of the time. Despite the challenges faced during its production, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a symbol of Catalan national identity.
