Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the Kingdom of Valencia, which was a region in the Spanish States. Charles III, also known as Charles the Pretender, was a claimant to the Spanish throne and had the support of some factions within the kingdom. Despite his efforts, he was ultimately unsuccessful in his bid for power and the coin bearing his name and image became a rare and valuable collector's item.
