Majorca (1396-1410) real

Aureo y Calicó sale 423, lot 1308

This specimen was lot 1308 in Aureo y Calicó sale 423 (Barcelona, December 2023), where it sold for 170 € (about US$220 including buyer's fees). The catalog description^[1] noted, "Martí I (1396-1410). Majorca. Ral. MBC- [about very fine]." This real was struck for Martin I, king of Mallorca, who was also king of Aragon, Valencia, Sardinia and Corsica, count of Barcelona and king of Sicily from 1409 (as Martin II). He failed to secure the accession of his illegitimate grandson, Frederic, Count of Luna, and with him the rule of the House of Barcelona came to an end. We believe the stars on the reverse are intended to be scallop shells.

Recorded mintage: unknown.
