[[Image:Spain 1849M 4 reales CNG 933.jpg|550px|thumb|CNG Lissner collection, lot 933]]

This specimen was lot 933 in Classical Numismatic Group's sale of the Lissner Collection (Chicago, August 2014), where it sold for $665.50. The catalog description[1] noted, "SPAIN, Reino de España. Isabel II. 1833-1868. AR 4 Reales (). De Vellon coinage. Madrid mint. José Luis de Castroviejo and Eugenio de Lara, assayers. Dated 1849 M CL. (De Vellon coinage, weight of 5.4 g). In NGC encapsulation graded MS 65. Very iridescently toned prooflike obverse with satiny gem violet patinated reverse. Highest ever graded for date and type. A superb looking coin. Purchased from Paul Davis, April 1970." This type was struck in Madrid, Barcelona and Seville 1837-49. The [[Spain|Spanish]] "de vellon" coinage system, used 1808-50, set twenty reales = 1 peso instead of the traditional eight. The coins minted using that standard were not marked in any way different from the concurrent eight reales standard, a source of confusion for collectors today, It must have been a major irritant for the inhabitants of the time. In 1850 the currency was decimalized and the twenty reales reduced to 26.91 grams.

''Recorded mintage:'' unknown but common.

''Specification:'' 5.25 g, .900 fine silver, this specimen Ø23 mm, 5.35 g, 12h axis.

''Catalog reference:'' [[Spanish and Spanish colonial coins listed by Cayón number|Cayón-17021]], KM 519.2.
