Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Quarto coin from Principality of Catalonia is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Spain. The coin was issued in 1812-1813, during the Peninsular War, which was a conflict between Spain and France. The war had a significant impact on the production of coins, as many mints were forced to close or operate irregularly. Despite these challenges, the Quarto coin remained in circulation and is now a sought-after collector's item.
