Dobler - Felipe V

The Dobler was Majorca's smallest billon denomination, and its continued production under Felipe V reflects the island's persistent need for low-value coinage that the mainland mints rarely prioritized. Felipe V's claim to the Spanish throne triggered the War of the Spanish Succession, and Majorca held out as a Habsburg stronghold until 1715 — meaning early issues of this type were struck under a king whose sovereignty over the island was actively contested by the population using the coins.
