Spain
Isabel II gold 80 Reales 1836 B-PS MS64 PCGS, Barcelona mint, KM577.1, Cal-699. An early survivor from Isabel's storied 30-year reign, retaining a superior state of preservation, likely the result of having been tucked away soon after production and certainly worthy of a Prooflike consideration. This treasured, rarer date is notably the last containing DIOS (God) as the final word of the obverse legend, as the subsequent year saw its replacement with the word CONSTITUCION (constitution) in recognition of the limitations on royal power introduced by the Spanish Constitution of 1837. This near-Gem Mint State specimen remains the only piece certified by either major grading service and is worthy of advanced consideration by collectors.
