Interesting fact

The Denier coin from the Kingdom of Majorca was used as a form of currency during the reign of Philip V, who ruled from 1700 to 1705. The coin was made of Billon, a type of alloy that consists of a mixture of copper, silver, and other metals. Despite its small weight of 0.8 grams, the coin held significant value during its time and was widely used in trade and commerce.
