Pedro IV of Aragon — "El Ceremoniós" — absorbed Majorca back into the Aragonese Crown in 1343 after a short military campaign against his cousin Jaume III, ending the independent Mallorcan monarchy. These fractional gold pieces were struck under his authority as king of a reintegrated territory, not an autonomous realm. The Majorcan mint continued operating under Aragonese oversight, producing small-denomination gold for Mediterranean trade circuits where fractions of a real held real utility.
Cru#442 is among the lighter gold fractions of the Iberian fourteenth century at under a gram — a consequence of Majorcan monetary tradition rather than debasement.
