Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Reales - Ferdinand VII (Madrid) 1813-1814 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, a conflict that lasted from 1807 to 1814 and saw Spain fighting against Napoleon's France. Despite the challenges of war, the Spanish mint continued to produce coins, including this one, which features an image of King Ferdinand VII on one side and the Spanish coat of arms on the other. This coin is a testament to the resilience and determination of the Spanish people during a difficult period in their history.
