Interesting fact
The Dobler coin was minted during the reign of Philip IV of Spain, who ruled from 1621 to 1665. It's interesting to note that Philip IV was the first Spanish king to issue a decree in 1623, which prohibited the use of foreign coins in the Spanish colonies, including the Kingdom of Majorca. This decree was aimed at promoting the use of Spanish coins and strengthening the Spanish economy. The fact that the Dobler coin was minted during this time period suggests that it may have been an attempt to comply with this decree and promote the use of Spanish currency in the Kingdom of Majorca.
