Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the Principality of Catalonia. The coin was issued by Louis XIII, who was the King of France and Navarre, but the minting of this coin was done in Cervera, which was a city in the Principality of Catalonia. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was minted outside of France but still bears the image of the French king. This fact highlights the complex political and economic relationships that existed between different regions and kingdoms during this time period.
