Interesting fact

The Dobler coin was issued during the reign of Philip IV of Spain, who was also known as Philip the Great. He was a prominent monarch who ruled over a large portion of Europe and the Americas during his time, and his coinage was widely used throughout his territories. The Billon material used to make this coin was a common alloy used in coinage during that era, consisting of a mixture of copper, silver, and other metals. It's worth noting that the Kingdom of Majorca was a territory that was part of the Spanish States during Philip IV's reign, and the coin was likely used in trade and commerce within that region.
