Agramunt's mint was one of several Catalan facilities pressed into emergency service during the Corpus de Sang revolt and the subsequent Franco-Catalan War, when the Principality broke from Castile and placed itself under French protection in 1641. Small copper deniers like this one filled a practical gap as the conflict disrupted normal monetary supply from Castilian mints. The KM#A100 attribution covers a type produced under considerable political instability — Catalonia would remain a contested war zone until Barcelona's fall to Philip IV in 1652.
