Commentary


L'atelier de Barcelone est créé le 21 août 1808 et la fabrication commence dès le 27 août ; elle dure jusqu'au 30 mai 1814. Ces pièces sont d'autant plus rares que les espagnols, ayant particulièrement peu apprécié les méthodes françaises d'occupation, ont refondu toutes celles qu'ils ont trouvées afin d'effacer le souvenir des horreurs de la guerre. Au total, pour les trois millésimes 1812, 1813 et 1814, 9.578 pièces ont été frappées. Le millésime 1814 est, de loin, le plus rare.

Historical background


SPAIN - FRENCH OCCUPATION OF BARCELONA

(12/02/1808-30/05/1814)

Barcelona was occupied by French troops on February 12, 1808. The insurrection of May/June 1808 caused a monetary shortage and reinforced supply problems, which forced the city authorities to open a workshop, reviving at the same time Catalan national feeling. Barcelona remains occupied until May 30, 1814.
