From the Michael Cassick Collection of Siege and Emergency Coins, purchased January 2014.
In 1821, numerous Spanish port cities were struck by an outbreak of yellow fever, with over 4500 deaths in Barcelona alone. The French monarchy took advantage of the health crisis to close their borders and ban Spanish ships from their ports, quarantining not only the yellow fever but also the rash liberal uprisings that were simultaneously occurring on the peninsula.
