Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Escudos - Ferdinand VII (Cadiz mint; laureate head) 1811-1814 coin from Spain is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the country. The coin was issued during the Peninsular War, which was a conflict between Spain and France that lasted from 1807 to 1814. Despite the war, the coin still features the image of Ferdinand VII, who was the King of Spain at the time. This highlights the resilience and determination of the Spanish people during a period of great challenge and upheaval.
