| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field features a prominent geometric design composed of two overlapping X-shaped (saltire) elements forming a multi-pointed star or lozenge pattern, characteristic of the Solsona civic emblem. A small floral or rosette ornament is visible at the top center of the design. The Latin legend +CŒLSONA CIVI with the date 1641 runs along the outer field, separated from the central design by a beaded inner border. The overall strike is bold but slightly off-center, consistent with hammered copper coinage of 17th-century Catalonia. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Catalonia's revolt against Philip IV — the Guerra dels Segadors, ignited in June 1640 — forced the Principality into a desperate monetary improvisation. Cut off from Castilian supply lines and functionally operating under French protection by January 1641, Catalan authorities issued copper coinage on their own account, bypassing the crown entirely. The seiseno was worth six diners, a denomination calibrated to meet immediate small-transaction needs during wartime occupation and siege conditions.
Production at Solsona was brief. The city fell back under Castilian control before the revolt concluded in 1652.
