THE PENINSULAR WAR, Spain. Catalonia. Gerona. Necessity issue, 1808. AR Duro (37mm, 26.80 g, 11h). Dated 1808. FER/ VII in stamp / [GNA]/ 1808/ UN DURO in stamp. ME 15779; De Mey & Poindessault 881; KM 10; Davenport 311. Lightly toned, a few marks, weak strike on reverse. VF. The cataloger in the Wayte Raymond sale argued that this was a unique variety, from a reverse die lacking the GNA. Close examination, however, reveals the bottoms of the letters, demonstrating that this is simply a weak strike.

From the Michael Cassick Collection of Siege and Emergency Coins, purchased April 1999. Ex Wayte Raymond Collection (Part III, NASCA, 13 August 1978), lot 3894.
