| Additional information |
Felipe V acceded to the Spanish throne in 1700 as the first Bourbon king, triggering the War of the Spanish Succession — a conflict that directly threatened Majorca's status as a separate issuing authority. The island backed the rival Habsburg claimant, Charles III, and only came under firm Bourbon control in 1715 after a prolonged military campaign. Coins bearing this portrait were therefore struck on an island that was, for much of the listed date range, actively hostile to the king whose effigy they carried.
The capitulation of 1715 ended Majorcan autonomy under the Nueva Planta decrees.
