Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 6 Maravedis coin from the Kingdom of Navarre (Spain) is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Spain. The coin was issued during the reign of Ferdinand VII, who ruled from 1808 to 1833. During his reign, Spain experienced a period of political instability and conflict, including the Peninsular War (1807-1814) against Napoleon's forces, and the subsequent Trienio Liberal (1820-1823), a period of liberal rule that saw the adoption of a constitutional monarchy. Despite these challenges, the 6 Maravedis coin remained a widely used denomination during this time, reflecting the importance of coinage in everyday transactions.
