Spain 1849 M/CL Silver 4 Reales
Offered is a .812AR 4 Reales coin struck at Madrid in 1849 under the reign of Queen Isabella II, KM#519.2, Cal#296. Interestingly, this piece represents the last of the Real Vellon issues, as the old Vellon currency had technically been reformed the year before this piece was issued, although the decimal changeover was only to happen in 1850. Circulation cameo is set off against deep gunmetal fields, making this circulated example particularly striking.
