Interesting fact
The ½ Maravedi coin from the Kingdom of Navarre (Spain) made of Copper and weighing 1.02g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Ferdinand VII, who was the last king of Spain before the country became a constitutional monarchy. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which aimed to standardize the currency across the Spanish States. The ½ Maravedi coin was equivalent to half of a Maravedi, which was a silver coin that was widely used in Spain during that time. The fact that this coin was made of copper and not silver, like the Maravedi, reflects the economic and political changes that were happening in Spain during the early 19th century.
