Interesting fact
The Louis XIII Denier coin from the Principality of Catalonia (Spanish States) is interesting because it was issued during a time of political turmoil. Louis XIII was the King of France, and his reign saw the Thirty Years War, which had a significant impact on the Principality of Catalonia. Despite this, the coin still bears the image of the king and the coat of arms of Catalonia, showcasing the complex political dynamics of the time.
