Interesting fact
The Denier - Louis XIII (Tárrega, bust right) 1642 from Principality of Catalonia (Spanish States) made of Copper weighing 1 g is an interesting coin because it was issued during a time of great turmoil in Catalonia. In 1640, the Catalan Revolt broke out against the Spanish monarchy, and Louis XIII was forced to flee Barcelona. Despite this, the coin still bears his image and name, indicating the complex political dynamics at play during this time.
