ELIZABETH II (1833-1868). 1 Peseta. (Ar. 5.83g/25mm). 1837. Barcelona PS. (Cal-2019-272). Good Very Fine.

Within the framework of the Carlist Wars, and in the same way as the coppers with values ​​of 3 and 6 quarters, this emergency coin was minted to pay the Elizabethan troops who participated in said war. One of the novelties that we observe in the pieces minted during the first Elizabethan system or maravedí system is the inclusion in the legend of the term Const. (Constitution). From now on, the queen is by the grace of God but also by the Magna Carta itself. These pesetas were only minted in the years 1836 and 1837, with the former having a double variant depending on whether they have a spiked or fluted edge.
