Charles III (who struck this coin) wanted to support the American colonists in hopes of upsetting British power so that Spain might regain some of its property, including Florida. But he also didn’t want to send a message to his own colonies to revolt, as well as making his treasure galleons a target for the lethal Royal Navy. He initially supported the “rebels” by providing finances, weapons (some smuggled through Louisiana), and bases for their privateers (pirates sailing under a letter of marque) attacking British shipping. But he didn’t recognize them diplomatically. By 1779 this balancing act was too difficult to maintain, and once the treasure galleons were safely in Cadiz, he joined France in helping America gain its independence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth Spain’s and France’s support for the American rebels was crucial to the defeat of General Charles Cornwallis at Yorktown. Wealthy Spanish merchants in Havana, Cuba, loaned about 500,000 pieces of 8 to Admiral François-Joseph Paul, marquis de Grasse Tilly, comte de Grasse so he could pay for supplies and the French and Continental troops lead by George Washington marching to attack Yorktown. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" color=\"#990000\"\u003eCornwallis, and British 7,000 troops surrendered at Yorktown on October 19, 1781.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #990000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eThe 14 page, full color, photo Certificate of Authenticity that accompanies this coin took Robert many months to research and write.

On May 2nd, Spanish citizens rose up in a bloody revolt, but were quickly overwhelmed by France's elite Imperial Guard. Public meetings were banned, all weapons were confiscated (including kitchen knives, shears and even needles) and curfews were put in place.

Charles III (who struck this coin) wanted to support the American colonists in hopes of upsetting British power so that Spain might regain some of its property, including Florida. But he also didn’t want to send a message to his own colonies to revolt, as well as making his treasure galleons a target for the lethal Royal Navy. He initially supported the “rebels” by providing finances, weapons (some smuggled through Louisiana), and bases for their privateers (pirates sailing under a letter of marque) attacking British shipping. But he didn’t recognize them diplomatically. By 1779 this balancing act was too difficult to maintain, and once the treasure galleons were safely in Cadiz, he joined France in helping America gain its independence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth Spain’s and France’s support for the American rebels was crucial to the defeat of General Charles Cornwallis at Yorktown. Wealthy Spanish merchants in Havana, Cuba, loaned about 500,000 pieces of 8 to Admiral François-Joseph Paul, marquis de Grasse Tilly, comte de Grasse so he could pay for supplies and the French and Continental troops lead by George Washington marching to attack Yorktown. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" color=\"#990000\"\u003eCornwallis, and British 7,000 troops surrendered at Yorktown on October 19, 1781.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #990000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eThe 14 page, full color, photo Certificate of Authenticity that accompanies this coin took Robert many months to research and write.

Led by France’s new “Emperor” Napoleon Bonaparte, France's armies quickly began conquering most of Europe. In the early years, Spain was one of Napoleon's allies, and they joined forces to conquer England. But after Spain helped Napoleon invade Portugal in 1807, he turned and captured the Spanish monarchy in early 1808. On May 2nd, Spanish citizens rose up in a bloody revolt, but were quickly overwhelmed by France's elite Imperial Guard. Public meetings were banned, all weapons were confiscated (including kitchen knives, shears and even needles) and curfews were put in place.

Led by France’s new “Emperor” Napoleon Bonaparte, France's armies quickly began conquering most of Europe. In the early years, Spain was one of Napoleon's allies, and they joined forces to conquer England. But after Spain helped Napoleon invade Portugal in 1807, he turned and captured the Spanish monarchy in early 1808. On May 2nd, Spanish citizens rose up in a bloody revolt, but were quickly overwhelmed by France's elite Imperial Guard. Public meetings were banned, all weapons were confiscated (including kitchen knives, shears and even needles) and curfews were put in place.

Since the early 1700's, Gibraltar has been a British territory at the southern tip of the peninsula. It is home to the legendary 1,400 foot rock formation, the Rock of Gibraltar, the northern point of the legendary Pillars of Hercules. To the south, across the Straight of Gibraltar (where the Mediterranean Sea flows into the Atlantic Ocean), is Africa and mountains that make up the southern point of the Pillars. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #990000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eNapoleon Enters Iberia...\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #990000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eThe Napoleonic Wars began in 1803. Led by France’s new “Emperor” Napoleon Bonaparte, France's armies quickly began conquering most of Europe. In the early years, Spain was one of Napoleon's allies, and they joined forces to conquer England. But after Spain helped Napoleon invade Portugal in 1807, he turned and captured the Spanish monarchy in early 1808. On May 2nd, Spanish citizens rose up in a bloody revolt, but were quickly overwhelmed by France's elite Imperial Guard. Public meetings were banned, all weapons were confiscated (including kitchen knives, shears and even needles) and curfews were put in place. Napoleon placed his brother, Joseph, on the Spanish throne. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eShortly after, Spanish delegates headed south to their enemy, the English at Gibraltar.

The battle lines of the war were like a seesaw. For six years, allied British, Spanish and Portuguese armies clashed with Napoleon’s armies on the Iberian Peninsula, taking ground, then losing it, only to take it again. The Peninsular War is considered one of the first wars of national liberation, and is noted for the emergence of large scale guerrilla warfare.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eArmies and soldiers do not survive on good wishes.
