Interesting fact
The Denier coin from the Kingdom of Majorca, issued during the reign of John II (1458-1479), features a unique design element - a small cross pattée (a cross with arms that are narrow at the center and broaden towards the ends) on the obverse (front) side of the coin. This cross is believed to have been added to the coin's design to symbolize the Christian faith of the kingdom and its rulers.
