Interesting fact
The Seiseno - Louis XIII (Bellpuig) coin from the Principality of Catalonia (Spanish States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Europe. The coin was minted in 1642, just a few years after the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War, which had a profound impact on the political and economic landscape of Europe. Additionally, the coin was minted during the reign of Louis XIII, who was the King of France and Navarre, and this coin was likely used as a means of promoting his rule and influence in the region.
