| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1641 date places this coin squarely within the Corpus de Sang — the outbreak of the Catalan Revolt against Philip IV of Spain, during which Catalonia placed itself under the protection of Louis XIII of France. The Principality's need to fund its own military resistance and administrative apparatus drove the emergency issue of indigenous silver coinage, separate from Castilian monetary authority. Berga, a town in the Pyrenean foothills, served as one of the active minting centers during this chaotic period.
The revolt would last until 1652, when Barcelona finally capitulated after a prolonged siege and famine.
