<p>[QUOTE="Collect89, post: 612309, member: 15445"]<font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">The little boy on this coin is Alfonso XIII. His full name is Alfonso León Fernando María Jaime Isidro Pascual Antonio de Borbón y Austria-Lorena. As you can see, they put “Alfonso XIII” on the coin. This kid’s father was the king of Spain. His father the king died before he was born so the kid was proclaimed King of Spain when he was born. (This kind of stuff happens to a lot of people when they are born). His mom was appointed regent during his early years and Alfonso XIII assumed control at the age of 16. He reigned as king from 1886 to 1931. You will find Alfonso XIII on Spanish coins in various states of maturity. This 1892 Two Pesetas depicts him as a little boy king of Spain. I added this coin to my collection yesterday. </font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">If you have other Alfonso XIII coins or maybe other coins depicting young kings, please post them.</font></font></p><p> </p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="3">Thanks for letting me share.</font></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="3">Very best regards,</font></font></p><p><font face="Times New Roman"><font size="3">collect89</font></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
