Barcelona's municipal copper issues of 1641–43 fall squarely within the Corpus de Sang uprising and the subsequent declaration of Catalan allegiance to Louis XIII of France as Count of Barcelona — a political rupture with Philip IV that made locally authorized coinage both a practical necessity and an assertion of autonomous authority. The "uncertain" attribution reflects genuine ambiguity in the documentary record: it remains unresolved whether specific dies within this series were authorized directly by the municipality or under French-backed administrative oversight during the occupation.
