Florin - Martin I

Martin I inherited Majorca as an adjunct to the Aragonese Crown following the extinction of the independent Majorcan royal line in 1349, and these florins were struck under his authority as part of the broader Aragonese monetary system that had been copying the Florentine florin since the mid-fourteenth century. Majorca's mint at Perpignan had deep experience with the type, though by Martin's reign the island's commercial importance relative to Barcelona and Valencia had considerably diminished.

Cru#490 is among the less frequently encountered Aragonese territorial florins precisely because Majorcan output during these years was modest.
