Interesting fact

The ½ Maravedi coin from the Kingdom of Navarre (Spain) was minted during the reign of Ferdinand VII, who was the king of Spain from 1808 to 1833. This coin was part of a series of coins that were minted to replace the old currency of the Spanish States, which had been in use since the 14th century. The ½ Maravedi coin was equivalent to half of a maravedi, which was the standard unit of currency in the Kingdom of Navarre at the time. It's interesting to note that the Kingdom of Navarre was a small kingdom located in the north of Spain, and it had its own currency and minting system until it was annexed by Spain in 1841. The ½ Maravedi coin is a rare and valuable collector's item today, and it's a great example of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Kingdom of Navarre.
