Spain 1861 Isabella II 20 Reales Very Fine (VF20) toned
Isabella II was unified Spain's only queen regnant, ruling from 1833 until she was deposed in 1868. Following her father, Ferdinand VII, to the throne at the age of two, she had her reign immediately contested by her uncle, Infante Carlos. General unwillingness to accept a female sovereign led to a period of intrigues, conspiracies, and even outright war. In 1868, Isabella was deposed and sent into exile in France, where she formally abdicated and passed the throne to her son, Alfonso XII.
20 reales coins in this period were made from .900 silver and weighed about 26 grams. The obverse features Isabella's head, facing right. The reverse is the coat of arms of Spain between the Pillars of Hercules,
