A Brief History
Hoards of ancient Greek coins have been found in Spain, so the history of coins and coinage in Spain goes back more than two millennia. During Roman times many mints were active in Spain, and with its Mediterranean coast, Spain has played an active part in the development of Europe and the western world. Spain has been occupied wholly or partially be Phoenicians, Carthaginian, Greeks, Celts, Romans, Vandals, Visigoths, Moors and French. In 1492 Ferdinand and Isabella removed the last of the Moors . During the sixteenth century, Spain was the most powerful state in Europe, and therefore the world. It was responsible for opening up much of the new world. Spain's political power weakened with the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, and Spain was ruled by France from 1808 to 1814. Spain became a republic in 1873 to 1874, and again in 1931. During the twentieth century Spain was wracked by civil war. The forces of General Franco were victorious, and a greater Spain emerged as a strong modern nation, and is currently an important member of the European Union.
