English JOSE NAPOLEON (1808-1813). 20 Reales. (Ar. 26.90g / 40mm). 1809. Madrid AI. Big eagle. (Cal-2019-36). Extremely Fine.

The coat of arms of Spain on the coins of José Napoleón bring us, apart from the change of the dynastic symbol, that is, the replacement of the three fleurs-de-lis by the eagle, two significant novelties: firstly Granada appears with its own barracks with the same proportion and weight as other regions of the kingdom. On the other hand, and despite their lack of recognition in America, the overseas colonies also found their place, for the first time, in the Hispanic heraldry represented by the globes and the Herculean columns of the lower right barracks.
