ISABEL II (1833-1868). Visit of the Queen to the Provinces of Andalusia and Murcia. (White Metal. 57.75g / 52mm). 1862. (You Vives 428). Almost Extremely Fine. Weird like that.
The chronicles of the time say that that Friday, September 12, the artillery salvos announced the departure from the Real Palace to the Queen's Midday railway station to the south of the country. In addition to the queen, the king and his two eldest sons, the Prince of Asturias and the infanta Doña Isabel, were traveling. The list of famous people who accompany him was really extensive and the number of cities and towns to visit also: Toledo, Ciudad Real, Jaén, Granada, Sevilla... until reaching Murcia with really significant stops like this one in Malaga that our piece illustrates. It goes without saying that at each of these stops the hubbub, the inaugurations and even the constructions of triumphal arches were the constant of a trip that ended with the arrival, again, at the family palace on 29 October of that same year, 1862.
