Spain - Isabella The Catholic

[Yankee]

Hello

Anyone know which Spainish Monarch had these initials? The obverse has a fine hand painted center, perhaps an indication of a certain period. Any info most appreciated.

Hi Antonio

Thanks Have noticed different monograms on this order. Any idea when this one was issued?

Thanks

Perhaps you can see items with ligate F.7 or F.VII (monogram of the creator or the Order, Fernando VII in 1815)

Some others include F (for Fernando) and Y (for Isabel) in gothic style

That explains why I'd see different initials & style. Always thought each Monarch had his or her own monogram on reverse Glade you cleared that up It can be really hard to date the gold ones ( 1810-1900 )since there is little variation over the years.

Thanks

I known that can exist also with the monogram of Isabel II Regina (I.2.R, I.II.R, Y.2.R, Y.II.R) depending the manufacture

For Fernando VII (FDO.VII., F.VII and also F.7)

No all the monarchs have their monograms in the decoration.
