Comment
Officials Francesc, Horaci or Gregori Vilallonga (1556-1597)Interesting fact
The Dobler coin was minted during the reign of Philip II of Spain, who was also known as Philip II of Majorca. He was the King of Spain from 1556 until his death in 1598, and he also ruled over other territories, including the Kingdom of Majorca. The coin was made of Billon, which is an alloy of silver and copper, and it weighed 2.2 grams. It's worth noting that the Kingdom of Majorca was a short-lived state that existed from 1553 to 1555, and it was formed after the death of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, who had divided his territories among his son and brother. The kingdom was eventually annexed by Spain in 1555, and it became a Spanish province. I hope you find this information interesting!
