Interesting fact
The Señal coin from Gerona, which was minted between 1479 and 1516, was used as a form of currency in the Principality of Catalonia, which was a region in the Spanish States. What's interesting about this coin is that it was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at the time, but it was also relatively lightweight, weighing only 0.61 grams. This makes it a unique and interesting piece of history, especially for collectors of ancient coins.
