Description: This Spanish coin from 1879 is a true piece of history. Featuring King Alfonso XII, it is a beautiful bronze coin with a fineness of 0.9. This 5 Centimos coin is over 140 years old. Alfonso XII was King of Spain from 29 December 1874 to his death in 1885. After the Glorious Revolution of 1868 deposed his mother Isabella II from the throne, Alfonso studied in Austria and France. His mother abdicated in his favour in 1870, and he returned to Spain as king in 1874 following a military coup against the First Spanish Republic. Alfonso died aged 27 in 1885, leaving his pregnant widow, Maria Christina of Austria, as regent of Spain. Their son, Alfonso XIII, became king upon his birth the following year. Maria Christina continued as regent until Alfonso XIII came of age in 1902. Don't miss the chance to own a piece of the past with this remarkable Spanish coin. C656
