SPAIN. Silver Pretender 5 Pesetas Pattern, 1874. Brussels Mint. Charles VII. PCGS SP-64.Cal-type-1#1; KMX-PT4. Date on Obverse - Plain edge. Struck prior to the coronation of Alfonso XII by Charles VII who was grandson of Charles V and a pretender who claimed the Spanish throne but kept a government in exile. The finest certified and the finest weve seen of this variety with razor sharp definition in the designs, mirrorlike fields and complimentary gold tone that is strongest around the obverse legends. An exciting opportunity for the collector of elite world crowns.From the Collection of Dr. James Eustace Bizzell, II.
