FERDINAND VII (1808-1833). 4 Reales. (Ar. 13.17g/32mm). 1810. Valencia SG. (Cal-2019-1143). Almost Extremely Fine. Although cleaned, it has acquired a nice patina. Scarce and more so.

The Valencian coinage of this period is characterized by a workmanship that is not as exquisite or careful as that of other mints in the country. It is common to find large openings and impurities on both the front and back of these pieces in any of the minted modules. Generally these defects are due to the fact that they were manufactured with a very low die pressure, since this happens even with newly opened dies. Finding, therefore, a piece without these defects like this one seems like a difficult task for the collector.
