Interesting fact
The Denier (Granollers) coin from the Principality of Catalonia (Spanish States) made of Copper weighing 1g has an interesting fact that it was used as a mode of payment during a time of economic turmoil in the 17th century. The Principality of Catalonia was part of the Spanish Empire, and the coin was used as a way to help stabilize the economy during a period of inflation and financial instability. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the Principality of Catalonia on one side and the Spanish king's name on the other. Despite its small size and value, the coin played a significant role in the economy of the time and is now a sought-after collector's item for numismatists.
