Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Maravedis - Ferdinand VII (Jubia mint; 1st portrait) 1811-1817 coin from Spain is that it was minted during a time of political and economic turmoil in the country. The Jubia mint, where the coin was produced, was established in 1810 as a result of the Spanish War of Independence against Napoleon's France, which had occupied much of the country. The mint was set up to produce coins for the Spanish military and civilians, and the 8 Maravedis coin was one of the first coins minted there. Despite the challenges faced during this time, the coin remains a valuable piece of Spanish history and a testament to the country's resilience.
