Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Reales - Ferdinand VII (Draped bust; DEI · GRATIA) 1812-1814 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 Spanish mint continued to produce coins, including this one, which features a portrait of King Ferdinand VII on one side and the Spanish coat of arms on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of Spanish history.
