Interesting fact
The Ardite coin from the Principality of Catalonia (Spanish States) made of Copper and weighing 1.6g is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during the reign of Philip III (1612-1621) and features an image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of Catalonia on the other.
