Interesting fact

The 5 Pesetas coin from the Kingdom of Majorca (Spanish States) made of Silver weighing 27g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the reign of King Ferdinand VII, who ruled Spain from 1808 to 1833. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which were designed to standardize the currency across the Spanish states. The coin's design features the king's portrait on one side and the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Majorca on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
