Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ferdinand I ND (1412-1416) Groat coin from the Principality of Catalonia is that it features a unique blend of Gothic and Renaissance styles in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a crowned shield with the arms of Aragon, while the reverse side features a cross fleury with the letters "S" and "F" (for Sanctus Ferdinandus) in the quarters. This blend of styles reflects the cultural and artistic influences of the time, and makes the coin a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
