Interesting fact
The Denier (Puigcerdá) coin from Principality of Catalonia (Spanish States) was minted in 1641 during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The Principality of Catalonia was a province of the Spanish Empire, and the coin was used as a means of exchange and commerce within the region. The fact that it was made of copper, a relatively inexpensive metal, suggests that it was intended for everyday transactions and was accessible to people of all social classes. Despite its humble origins, the coin has become a valuable collector's item for numismatists today, offering a glimpse into the economic and cultural history of the region.
