Old Spain.

Many Spanish coins have the "real year" encoded in the stars near the display year.

That is a very cool collection of coins thanks for sharing them. The history behind them is great

 

You should have a Joe Bonaparte coin, those are the most common of the Napoleanic sibiling issues.

 

I have not coins of King Jose Napoleon. Still...

 

I like world coinage for the same reasons you do. I have a lot of different countries that make up my background, and when I handle coinage from their countries from before they came to the US, I wonder if they may have handled it.
I don't have any Spanish blood (that I know of) but I enjoyed seeing the coins. I do have one of the 1870 copper centavos that you posted but it is very worn, it's also one of the only European 1800s coins in my collection, I have less then 10.

 

Sweet coins, own a few of those myself.

 

great coins!

 

Wow great collection, and areally good history lesson!
The only one of those that I have is a 1795 2-Real that I have had for about 15 years.

Once again, thank you for sharing...

 

General Francisco Franco was the dictator of Spain during 1939-1975. He was a fascist. He called himself as "Caudillo" that means "Chieftain". During the WW II Spain was neutral state (formal), but in fact, Spain was an ally of Germany.
