Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 80 Reales - Isabel II (CONST) 1837-1849 coin from Spain is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the country. The coin was introduced in 1837, just a few years after the death of King Ferdinand VII, who had ruled Spain since 1808. His death led to a period of political instability and power struggles, which ultimately resulted in the regency of Queen Isabella II, who was only a child at the time. Despite the challenges facing the country, the coin remained a popular and widely used denomination throughout Isabella's reign, which lasted until 1849.
