This is a 40-real gold coin issued by the Kingdom of Spain, with its name derived from the Spanish word “real,” meaning “royal.” On the obverse side, the central image is a portrait of Queen Isabel II, surrounded by the inscription “ISABEL 2A. POR LA G· DE DIOS Y LA CONST,” meaning “Isabel II by the Grace of God and the Constitution.” The date of issuance is inscribed at the bottom.
The reverse features the Spanish coat of arms at the centre, flanked by two flags. Moving clockwise from the upper left, these flags represent the kingdoms of Castile and León, while the central motif symbolises the Bourbon dynasty’s fleur-de-lis. The coat of arms is crowned at the top, and draped with the Golden Fleece, a reference to the mythological Greek symbol of the same name. The outer inscription, “REINA DE LAS ESPAÑAS,” translates to “Queen of the Spains,” indicating the monarch of Spain. Below, the face value of 40 reales is marked, with two small stars representing the mintmark of the Spanish Royal Mint.
Since the Bourbon dynasty from France ascended to the Spanish throne, the Salic Law, which restricted succession to males, was applied to the Spanish monarchy. In AD 1833, following the death of King Ferdinand VII, the throne passed to his young daughter, Isabel II, due to the absence of a male heir. Although the previous king had persuaded the Cortes (Spanish Parliament) to amend the succession laws, Ferdinand’s brother, Prince Carlos, still asserted his claim to the throne, leading to a series of conflicts known as the Carlist Wars.
