This Spanish eighty reales de vellon was struck in Madrid during the regime of José Napoleon, the French emperor's older brother. The "de vellon" coinage system, used 1808-50, set twenty reales = one peso instead of the traditional eight. The coins minted using that standard were not marked in any way different from the concurrent eight reales standard, a source of confusion for collectors today, It must have been a major irritant for the inhabitants of the time. The specimen shown was lot 235 in Aureo y Calico sale 232 (Barcelona, March 2011), where it sold for 1,300 € (about $2,145 including buyer's fee). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''Dominación Francesa. 1812/1. Madrid. AI. 80 reales. Bella. Parte de brillo original. Escasa y más así. EBC-/EBC'' (French domination, eighty reales of 1812, Madrid mint, 1812/1 overdate. Handsome, some original luster, scarce thus, extremely fine.)"</blockquote> This type was struck 1811-13 for Joseph Napoleon, Napoleon's brother and reluctant puppet king of [[Spain]] 1808-14. The gold coins of his regime are scarce to rare, likely because Napoleon was extracting large quantities of gold for the French war machine.

''Recorded mintage:'' 238,000.
