Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1811 Spanish 4 Reales coin with the armored bust of Ferdinand VII is that it was minted at a traveling mint, which was a mobile mint that was set up in different locations to produce coins for the Spanish military during the Peninsular War. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was minted outside of the traditional minting facilities, and its unique history adds to its value and collectibility.
