Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Ochavo - Ferdinand VII 1813 coin from Principality of Catalonia (Spanish States) is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Spain. The coin was issued in 1813, just a year after the outbreak of the Peninsular War, a conflict that pitted Spain against Napoleon's France. Despite the chaos and upheaval of the time, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and detail, with intricate designs on both sides. This coin is a testament to the resilience and determination of the people of Catalonia during a difficult period in their history.
