The 1959 film "The Miracle" is set during Napoleon's invasion of Spain (AD 1807-1814). A Spanish nun Teresa (Carroll Baker) is at a convent in Salamanca, Spain. Teresa falls in love with a visiting British officer and leaves the convent. The convent statue of the Virgin Mary comes to life and takes Teresa's place as a nun. Teresa has a number of adventures including a stay with some Gypsies. A Gypsy named Carlitos betrays the Gypsy chief Guido to the French. A French captain tosses a bag of gold coins to Carlitos and they spill out onto the ground. The coins are prop coins which imitate real Spanish coins of the period.

The coins look like Spanish eight reales coins of Kings Charles III (AD 1759-1788) and Charles IV (AD 1788-1808).
