<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RomanTheRussian, post: 5290738, member: 7539&quot;]I&#039;m not sure I saw the first one (and i looked), so here&#039;s yet another Ferdinand VII coin. Depending on who you asked at the time, he was either referred to as <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/deseado" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/deseado" rel="nofollow">el Deseado</a> (the Desired) or as <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/rey" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/rey" rel="nofollow">el Rey</a> <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fel%C3%B3n" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fel%C3%B3n" rel="nofollow">Felón</a> (the Felon King). Historians later referred to him as a shirt-sighted and incompetent ruler. So there&#039;s that. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://images.pcgs.com/coinfacts/37260210_large.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>His father, King Carlos IV of Spain, was known as El Cazador (the Hunter). Not to be confused with the Spanish Brig of War by the same name that sunk sunk in 1784 about 50 miles south of Louisiana loaded with lots of 8 Reales and other goodies.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://images.pcgs.com/coinfacts/40471033_large.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think Carlos III before them had any nicknames that were written into the annals of history, but here&#039;s his likeness anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://images.pcgs.com/coinfacts/28633848_large.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
