Additional information

The dobler was a petty billon denomination struck for Majorcan circulation under the broader Aragonese monetary framework, and Felipe IV's long reign — forty-four years — means examples from this series are far from scarce in absolute terms. Majorca maintained its own mint and coinage traditions well into the seventeenth century despite increasing pressure from Madrid toward Castilian monetary uniformity, a resistance rooted more in commercial habit than political defiance.

Cal#1464 places this squarely within Calicó's documented Majorcan sequence. Die variation within long-running billon issues of this type is common and largely uncatalogued.
