Dear #histodons and #numismatists - do any of you have much knowledge about the #Spanish #CantonalRevolution ? I understand that after #LaGloriosa, the Revolution of 1868, which overthrew the Borbon monarchy, in the form of Isabel II, and led to the 1st #republicaespañola , some areas, including Murcia, wanted to go further. Apparently, the Red Flag was raised over the Town Hall in Cartagena in July 1873, inspired by the Paris Commune. The Centralist government besieged Cartagena, subjecting it to intense artillery bombardment, except for a period when the artillery corps of the army went on strike (!). This coin is a rare silver 10 reales, issued in 1873 in the besieged Cartagena - the period is fascinating, but I’m not aware of any good sources - tips appreciated!
The legends translate as “Cartagena besieged by the Centralists, September 1873” and “Cantonal Revolution, 10 Reales”
