Interesting fact
The coin , the Diner from the Kingdom of Majorca, is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during the reign of King Martin I, who ruled the kingdom from 1396 to 1410. Despite being made of a relatively low-value material, billon, the coin was still used as a means of exchange and had a distinct design that set it apart from other coins of the time. Additionally, the fact that it weighs only 0.48 grams makes it a unique and interesting artifact from the medieval period.
