Ferdinand VII was twice King of Spain and was likely one of the most worst and most hated in Spanish history.



Multiple portraits exist on Spanish Colonial coinage depicting Ferdinand VII, including the interesting Imaginary Bust design which was fashioned prior to knowing what the King actually looked like.

Boosibri - congrats on winning that 1810. If it wasn't for the wedding in 6 months, I'd put up more of a fight for it It's a gorgeous coin.
