Interesting fact
The Peseta - Isabella II 1836-1837 coin from the Principality of Catalonia (Spanish States) was minted during a time of political turmoil in Spain. The country was experiencing a period of civil war and political instability, which led to the creation of various regional governments, including the Principality of Catalonia. This coin was minted by the Catalan government as a form of currency for use within their territory, and it features the image of Queen Isabella II on one side and the coat of arms of Catalonia on the other. Despite the turmoil, the coin remained in circulation until the end of the 19th century, and it has since become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
