Interesting fact
The coin is a rare and interesting piece, and here's a fact that might pique your interest: Did you know that the Kingdom of Majorca, where this coin was minted, was a short-lived state that existed from 1621 to 1665? It was a vassal state of the Spanish Empire and was formed after the death of King Philip III of Spain, who had ruled over a vast territory that included much of Europe and the Americas. The Kingdom of Majorca was established to provide a separate government for the Balearic Islands, which were part of the Spanish Empire at the time. This coin, bearing the image of King Philip IV, was likely minted during this period and is a testament to the rich history of the Kingdom of Majorca. Despite its short existence, the kingdom played an important role in the political and economic landscape of Europe during that time.
