Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pacifico coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the Principality of Catalonia. The coin was issued by King Peter de Portugal in 1465-1466, a period when the Catalan Civil War was taking place, and the region was struggling for independence from the Crown of Aragon. Despite this, the coin still bears the name of the Spanish States and features the standard circulation design of the time. This highlights the complex political and historical context in which the coin was created and adds to its unique significance.
