Interesting fact
The Peseta 1809-1814 from Principality of Catalonia (Spanish States) is interesting because it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Spain. The coin was issued during the Peninsular War, a conflict that lasted from 1807 to 1814 and involved Spain, France, and Great Britain. The war was sparked by Napoleon's invasion of Spain, and it led to the abolition of the Spanish monarchy and the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. The Peseta coin was minted during this time of change and uncertainty, making it a unique piece of history.
