Interesting fact
The Denier coin from the Principality of Catalonia (Spanish States) made of Copper and weighing 1g has an interesting fact that it was used as a currency during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of King Louis XIV, who ruled from 1643 to 1715, and it was used to facilitate trade and commerce within the region. Despite its small size and value, the coin played an important role in the economy of the time and is now a sought-after collector's item for numismatists.
