Interesting fact
The Señal (Cervera) coin from the Principality of Catalonia (Spanish States) made of Copper weighing 1.04 g is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile, who were instrumental in unifying Spain and establishing a strong central government. The coin's design features the royal shield and the inscription "SENAL CERVERA," indicating its origin and authenticity. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the coin played an important role in facilitating trade and commerce in the region and is now a sought-after collector's item for numismatists.
