Definition

• A name given to the billon double Gros of the Island of Majorca. It was issued as early as the thirteenth century and continued in use until the time of Philip V (1700-1746). The general type has on one side a crowned bust between two roses, and on the reverse a cross or armorial shield. The later issues were struck in copper and reduced to the value of two Dineros.
