ALFONSO XIII (1885-1931). Proclamation of Alfonso XIII. (Ar. 110.52g / 60mm). Madrid. 1902. Engraver: Bartolomé Maura. (RAH-1902). Almost Extremely Fine. Beat on the edge. On May 17, 1902, with the swearing in of the Constitution, Alfonso XIII was proclaimed King at the early age of sixteen. To be more exact, it would have to be said that it was the second time that he was proclaimed king since he was already so at the very moment of his birth since his father, King Alfonso XII, had died shortly before. After the Regency of his mother, María Cristina, a solitary reign began that ended years later in exile and with the advent of the Second Spanish Republic.
