    A really nice example of this type, EF+. The photo doesn't bring out the nice underlying luster around the legends on obverse & reverse. Stole this one for $14 a few years ago!

    Very nice OP coin! I have an 1891 that is not quite as nice. All hail King Baby!

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    It's cool how his portrait changes as he grows up. The Baby King is just too funny..... who would let a baby rule a country?

    Well, his father and predecessor died shortly before Alfonso XIII was born. So he became king of Spain on his date of birth. :) As most infant kings, he had a regent (in his case that was his mother) in the first years - and keep in mind that later he did not actually "rule" anyway ...
