<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1731694, member: 39&quot;]The ones dated 1868, such as your coin. Isabella left, or had to leave, Spain and moved to France in late 1868 - so it makes sense that the (about 1.7 million) pieces made for the Philippines in that year show her portrait. However, they continued to strike them for five more years (another 700,000 coins); no idea why. Since it would have looked odd if a, say, 1870 coin had featured Isabella, those later ones are dated 1868 as well. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
