Comments

Don Carlos María Isidro Benito de Borbón (29 March 1788 – 10 March 1855) was an Infante of Spain and the second surviving son of King Charles IV of Spain and of his wife, Maria Luisa of Parma. As Charles V, he was the first of the Carlist claimants to the throne of Spain. He claimed the throne of Spain after the death of his older brother King Ferdinand VII in 1833. His claim was contested by liberal forces loyal to the dead king's infant daughter. The result was the bloody First Carlist War (1833–1840).

The pretender to the Spanish Crown, Carlos V, found himself forced to seek financing for the military campaign that he undertook against Isabel II. And among various measures, it issued 20 million Pesos Fuertes in Royal Bonds, which would be repaid within eight years from the arrival of the Suitor in Madrid. As it is that the above did not happen, they never remained as amounts delivered to the Carlist cause as non-refundable funds. In this way, we have three issues: 1st Issue of January 1835 of 16 Pesos Fuertes. 2nd Issue of Oñate of February 6, 1836, Bond of 47 Pesos Fuertes. 3rd Issue of April 8, 1837, with three values ​​of 50, 100 and 200 Pesos Fuertes.
