The city of Malaga has already issued commemorative medals on the occasion of the proclamation of the reigns of Luis I and Carlos III. In the case of Carlos IV there were several types coined, some of them having the purpose of being distributed among the public attending the act itself. In the chronicles of the time, he realizes that these medals were thrown to the town in two very specific places: the Town Hall and the main facade of the cathedral.
