1/2 Real - Felipe V Seville

Felipe V's reign saw two distinct periods on the Spanish throne — he abdicated in favor of his son Luis I in 1724, then reclaimed the crown seven months later when Luis died of smallpox. The Seville mint, one of the few still producing cob-style macuquina coinage into the late 1720s, was under mounting pressure from royal decree to transition to milled coinage, a reform that had already reshaped production at Madrid and Segovia. This issue falls squarely in that transitional friction.
