Interesting fact
The Seiseno - Philip IV coin from the Principality of Catalonia (Spanish States) was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the region. In 1640, the Catalan Revolt against the Spanish monarchy began, leading to a period of political instability and conflict that lasted for several years. Despite this, the coin still features the image of Philip IV, the King of Spain at the time, highlighting the complex political dynamics at play during this period.
