Interesting fact

The Seiseno coin from the Principality of Catalonia (Spanish States) made of Copper weighing 3.5g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the reign of King Philip IV of Spain, who ruled from 1621 to 1665. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign to promote trade and commerce in the region. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the Principality of Catalonia on one side and the Spanish royal coat of arms on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of history for collectors and historians interested in the currency and history of the region.
