Interesting fact
The Maravedi coin was used as a form of currency in the Kingdom of Navarre, which was a small kingdom located in the north of modern-day Spain, and it was also used in other Spanish states. The coin was first introduced in the 14th century and was used until the 19th century. The Maravedi was made of copper and had a distinctive design, featuring an image of Charles IV on one side and the coat of arms of Navarre on the other. The coin was widely used for trade and commerce, and it was also used to pay taxes and debts.
