Bourbon Bignose

A larger medal from old Spain:

Inbreeding produces strange results.

I hereby pronounce this the official "Charles III Thread".

Or just the plain ol' "Bignose Thread".






PS- cool medal, BTW. I've never seen any Spanish ones before, come to think of it.

And in Spanish, too, not Latin. Interesting.

"SOCORRE AL DILIGENTE / NIEGA AL PEREZOSO" works out to something like... uhh... "aid to the diligent, denial to the lazy", I believe.

I can't make out in the picture what the smaller text in the reverse exergue says?

harasha

Realmonte pio de socorro para los cosecheros del obispado de Malaga establecio ano de 1776.

I have been told that this is in the Catalan dialect of Spanish.

Can you imagine the results if this family hooked up with the Habsburgs (hog-mouths)?

Maybe they were inbreeding to smell good.
