¼ Real - Ferdinand VII Royalist coinage

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Venezuela. The Royalist coinage was issued by the Spanish colonial authorities in response to the independence movement led by Simón Bolívar. This coin, bearing the image of King Ferdinand VII, was a symbol of the Spanish monarchy's attempt to maintain control over the colonies, even as the Venezuelan people were fighting for their independence. Despite the political tensions, the coin still holds significant historical value and is a reminder of the complex history of Venezuela's struggle for independence.
