Interesting fact
The Florin coin , issued during the reign of John I of Barcelona (1387-1396), is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the Principality of Catalonia. The coin's minting was likely a response to the growing influence of the Aragonese Crown and the need for a standardized currency across the region. This coin, made of gold (.750) and weighing 3.5 grams, would have been a valuable and highly sought-after currency during its time.
