Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1811 Spanish Real coin featuring Ferdinand VII is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Spain. The country was undergoing a period of political upheaval and conflict, known as the "Spanish American wars of independence," which lasted from 1810 to 1826. Despite this, the coin still features the traditional imagery of the Spanish monarchy, including the laureate bust of Ferdinand VII and the inscription "DEI · G ·," which stands for "Dei Gratia," or "By the grace of God." This coin is a unique piece of history that captures a moment in time when Spain was undergoing significant change.
