History of the Artifact
These copper coins were minted under King Charles the IV of Spain. King Charles was born in 1748 and reigned from 1788 to 1808. His reign was marked by political instability, the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte's influence in Spain, and ultimately, his abdication in favor of his son, Ferdinand VII, during the tumultuous events of the Spanish War of Independence. These coins circulated alongside their silver counterparts valued at 2, 4 and 8 reals (also available in our store).
The obverse of the coin shows the effigy of the Spanish monarch, Charles IV with a lettering that reads: ‘CAROLUS·IIII· D·G HISP REX·’.
The Reverse depicts a ‘Don Pelayo’ cross with castles and lions set in all angles, all within a larger decorative wreath.

The delivery took quite a while, but this has nothing to do with the saler. I am very happy with my purchase, having a real piece of history in my home is really cool. The little display case looks nice and sturdy.

Coin is very beautiful. Five stars.
All perfect packaging and excellent delivery times. It was a real pleasure
The button arrived upside down in the display case so I had to open it up and fix it before gifting. Other than that everything was great! Neat gift.
Fast shipping, the coin came with COA and was exactly as pictured! Thank you!

Comes with the little display case and everything advertised in the picture. Awesome store

I like the coin a lot, it is a very nice piece of history. Fits perfectly in to my collection. Delivery was on time and packaging very good. The case that it is in is just so nice it looks like in a museum. :)
Amazing! I love both the coins I got from here!! I can’t wait to give them to their recipients for Christmas!
The Coin and case is awesome! The only additional thing that could make it perfect would be a little description of what/who the coin faces represent and possibly where the specific coin was found. Otherwise very content
They were so helpful and patient with me I couldn’t be more grateful. They gave me such good service and such fast shipping I’m buying another coin when I get paid again!! I’m going to continue buying from these guys, it looks even better in person. It’s everything I was hoping for:) I’m obsessed with it it looks amazing in my collection:)
