Ferdinand II died in January 1516, making the opening of this issue's date range almost certainly posthumous in execution — the dies were authorized under his reign but production under his name continued briefly into the regency period before Charles I assumed the Aragonese titles. Catalonia's mints operated under strict local privilege, answering to the Generalitat rather than directly to Castile, which is precisely why Catalan coinage retained its own typology long after the crowns nominally unified.
Cru. 1166 encompasses known die variations in the crown's point rendering — a detail that has led some specialists to propose sub-varieties, though no definitive census exists.
