Interesting fact
The Denier - Philip III (Barcelona, shield) 1600 coin from the Principality of Catalonia (Spanish States) features a unique shield design on the reverse side, which represents the coat of arms of the House of Barcelona. This shield is composed of four quadrants, each bearing a different symbol: a lion (representing Leon), a castle (representing Castile), a king's crown (representing Aragon), and a pomegranate (representing Granada). This design was used to symbolize the unity of the different regions under the Spanish crown.
