Interesting fact
The Denier coin with Philip III's image was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the Principality of Catalonia. The coin's production was part of an effort to standardize currency across the Spanish States, which had previously used a variety of different coinages. The introduction of the Denier coin helped to simplify trade and commerce across the region.
