Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Charles II ND (1665-1700) from Kingdom of Majorca (Spanish States) made of Copper weighing 1 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles II, who was the last Habsburg king of Spain and the first king of the Spanish Empire.
