Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Duro - Ferdinand VII (Gerona) 1808 coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Spain. The Principality of Catalonia, where the coin was minted, was part of the Spanish States, but it had its own distinct culture and language. The coin's design, which features an image of Ferdinand VII, reflects the tensions between the centralized Spanish government and the autonomous regions like Catalonia. Despite these tensions, the coin was widely used throughout Spain and remains a valuable collector's item today.
