<p>[QUOTE="The Eidolon, post: 4296119, member: 102103"]Day 11: Since we're mentioning coinage under French occupation, here's a Spanish 4 Reales, 1812, issued under King Joseph-Napoleon Bonaparte. [ATTACH=full]1093575[/ATTACH]</p><p>The Emperor needed someone he could trust to rule newly conquered Spain, so he pulled his unwilling brother from a relatively secure position as King of Naples to become King of Spain. He was reluctant to go, and was much less popular in rebellious Spain. He only ruled from 1808-1813. After losing his position as king, he spent much of his retirement in the US, including settling in New Jersey (!), where he fathered a couple illegitimate children by his mistress.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
