Interesting fact

The Dobler coin was issued during the reign of Philip V of Spain, who was also known as Philip II of Majorca. He ruled the Kingdom of Majorca from 1700 to 1746, and during his reign, the kingdom experienced significant economic growth and cultural development. The Dobler coin was an important part of the kingdom's currency system, and it was widely used for everyday transactions. It's worth noting that the Billon material used to make this coin was a common alloy used in coinage during that time period. Billon is a mixture of copper and silver, and it was often used to create coins that were more durable and resistant to wear and tear than coins made of pure copper or silver.
