Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Pesetas - Ferdinand VII (Lérida) 1809 coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Spain. The coin was issued by the Principality of Catalonia, which was a short-lived state that emerged during the Peninsular War (1807-1814) when Spain was occupied by Napoleon's forces. The coin's design features a portrait of Ferdinand VII, who was the king of Spain at the time, and the reverse side features the coat of arms of the Principality of Catalonia. Despite its historical significance, the coin is not particularly rare or valuable, and it can be found in many coin collections and online marketplaces.
