Comment
The 1814 CSF coin is mistakenly listed in Krause as type KM#453.1 (traveling mint, 1st portrait) when it should be listed as type KM#475 (traveling mint, laureate bust).
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Reales - Ferdinand VII coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Spain. The coin was issued during the Peninsular War, a conflict that lasted from 1807 to 1814 and pitted Spain against France. The war had a significant impact on the Spanish economy and led to a shortage of coinage, which made the 4 Reales coin an important means of exchange for the Spanish people during this time.
