| Beschrijving voorzijde | Youthful draped bust of Queen Isabella II facing right, her hair elaborately coiffed and ornamented with a decorative clasp, rendered in high relief. The effigy is set within a beaded inner border, with the date appearing in the lower field below the truncation. The surrounding legend reads ISABEL 2A. POR LA GRACIA DE DIOS Y LA CONST., invoking her authority by the grace of God and the Constitution. The portrait reflects the neoclassical engraving style characteristic of the first Isabel II coinage series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Isabel II's first coinage portrait appeared in 1837, two years after the three-year-old queen's nominal accession during the First Carlist War — a conflict that had fractured Spain's mints as badly as its armies. Several provincial mints operating under contested authority struck coins of variable alloy during this period, making the Royal Mint's regulated issues the benchmark against which contemporary forgeries and emergency pieces are still compared.
The .812 fineness reflects a deliberate reduction from the old colonial standard, formalized under the monetary reforms of 1837.
