Interesting fact

The Denier coin from the Kingdom of Majorca, issued during the reign of Martin I (1396-1410), 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 pattée is believed to have been added to the coin's design to symbolize the Christian faith and to differentiate the Majorcan coins from those of other regions.
