Interesting fact
The Denier (Lérida) 1643 from Principality of Catalonia (Spanish States) made of Copper weighing 1 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of great political and economic change in the region. The Principality of Catalonia was part of the Spanish Empire, and the coin was minted during the reign of King Philip IV, who ruled from 1621 to 1665. This coin was likely used in everyday transactions and provides a glimpse into the economic and monetary systems of the time. Additionally, the fact that it was made of copper, a relatively common metal, suggests that it was intended for widespread use among the general population.
