Interesting fact
The Seiseno (Tárrega) coin from the Principality of Catalonia (Spanish States) made of Copper weighing 3.5g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the region. The Principality of Catalonia was part of the Spanish Empire, and the coin was minted during the reign of King Philip IV, who ruled from 1621 to 1665. This was a time of significant economic growth and cultural development in Catalonia, and the coin reflects the increasing importance of trade and commerce in the region. Additionally, the coin's design features the image of a shield with the Catalan coat of arms, which highlights the region's unique cultural identity and sense of national pride.
