Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Real - Ferdinand VII (Traveling mint; laureate bust) 1812-1814 coin from Spain is that it was minted during a time of political and economic turmoil in the country. The coin was issued during the Peninsular War, a conflict that lasted from 1807 to 1814 and involved Spain, France, and Great Britain. Despite the challenges posed by the war, the Spanish government continued to mint coins, including this one, which features a laureate bust of King Ferdinand VII on one side and the Spanish coat of arms on the other. The coin's silver content and small weight make it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
