Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Maravedis - Ferdinand VII (Jubia mint; 1st portrait) 1812-1816 coin from Spain is that it was minted during a time of political and economic turmoil in the country. The Jubia mint, where the coin was produced, was established in 1812, and it was the first mint to produce coins with the portrait of Ferdinand VII, who had recently been restored to the throne after a period of French occupation. The coin's design features a portrait of Ferdinand VII on one side and the Spanish coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the country's struggle for independence and sovereignty during this time. Despite the challenges faced during its production, the coin remains a valuable piece of Spanish history and a testament to the country's resilience.
