| Additional information |
Joanna ("la Loca") held nominal sovereignty throughout this period while her son Charles governed as co-ruler — a constitutional fiction the Crown of Aragon's constituent territories, including Catalonia, accepted only grudgingly. Catalan mints retained considerable autonomy, and small divergences in die preparation were common enough that the inverted C punch on this type likely reflects workshop practice rather than a deliberate variety. Cal#65 distinguishes it precisely on that basis.
