Description

SPAIN, ND Ferdinand & Isabela (1474-1504) (Calico #750): (Au) gold Double Excelente., Toledo mint. A wedding of 1469 was of profound significance in the history of Spain. Isabela, aged eighteen, married Ferdinand, a year younger than herself. Five years later, in 1474, she inherited the throne of Castile. Her husband argued (on the grounds of masculinity rather than seniority) that the crown should be his, but the nobles of Castile supported Isabella. It was agreed that the young couple would rule jointly.
