Gibraltar real

After the Anglo-Dutch occupied Gibraltar in 1704, the Spanish real continued to circulate in the town.

In 1825, the relative values of the various circulating coins were revised and pegged to the British pound.

The Spanish dollar was valued at 4 shillings and 4 pence and British silver coins were imported.

[1] In 1898, the Spanish–American War made the Spanish peseta drop alarmingly and on October 1 of that year, the pound was introduced as the sole currency of Gibraltar, initially in the form of British coins and banknotes.

[2] Traders' currency tokens were issued in Gibraltar between 1802 and 1820 by Robert Keeling, Richard Cattons, and James Spittles.

In 1802 the first merchant token to bear the name Gibraltar (albeit spelled Gibralter) was issued by Robert Keeling
