Calico, X.& F. DUROS DE FERNANDO VII 1808-1833. January 23, 1980. 1-275 Lots. 4to. This auction sale catalog includes numismatic material from Spain and the Spanish Americas. The specialty of the duros of Fernando VII to which the collection of this catalog is dedicated offers incentives in various aspects. The time of Fernando VII so moved, saw the Napoleonic Wars with the Bonapartist defeat; the birth of most of the American Nations; the influence in Spain of the doctrines of the French Revolution; the liberal and absolutist tendencies, all framed in a character so discussed and mistreated by History as Ferdinand VII himself. All these conjunctures are reflected in the coins of this period; the broadcasts made when Spain was still occupied by the French; the first after the victory; the latest mintages of the Spanish Provinces of America; those of the constitutional era and those of the return to absolute power. It is logical that monetary issues that cover such an extensive geographical area and such important historical events have a large audience among collectors; moreover, when, as in the present case, the collection has been formed with the wise criteria of someone who knows and deeply loves a given subject, the scholar will have to find multiple details that will enrich the object of his studies.
