Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - the rose - which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin during the reign of King Pedro IV of Aragon, who ruled the Kingdom of Majorca from 1336 to 1387. This rose symbol was used to signify the king's name, as "Pedro" means "rock" or "stone" in Spanish, and the rose was seen as a symbol of strength and stability. This design element sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and makes it a distinctive and interesting piece for collectors.
