This coin was the one that took me past 100K registry points. In 1808, the French army invaded Spain and by 1811 had overwhelmed most Spanish resistance. One holdout was the port of Cadiz, sustained by aid from the British navy. There the Supreme Junta issued eight reales of this type 1810-15. Slabbed purchase from Ebay in April of 2013.
