Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1822-1823 Spanish 20 Reales coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Spain. The coin features a portrait of King Ferdinand VII, who ruled Spain during a period of great change and upheaval, including the Peninsular War and the subsequent constitutional monarchy. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a popular collector's item and a symbol of Spanish history.
