Interesting fact
The 4 Reales - Isabel II (CONSTITUCION) 1837-1838 coin from Spain was minted during a time of great change in the country. The Constitution of 1837, which was the first constitution in Spain, was ratified during the reign of Queen Isabella II, and it established a constitutional monarchy, providing for greater freedom and rights for citizens. This coin, which features an image of the queen on one side and the Spanish coat of arms on the other, was minted to commemorate this significant event in Spanish history.
