Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Ramon Berenguer I, who was the Count of Girona and a prominent figure in the history of Catalonia, a region in northeastern Spain. The coin was minted during his reign, which lasted from 1035 to 1076, and it is made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal at the time. Despite its small weight of 0.4 grams, the coin is a significant artifact from this time period and offers a glimpse into the economic and political systems of medieval Europe.
