Last Habsberg King of Spain. (d. 1700) Drooling inbred apparently. I assume the Neap is short for Neapolis or Naples. See Kingdom of the two Sicilies and all that... I can see M denoting the Madrid mint. The golden fleece common for the Habsbergs has it's origin in the Dukes of Burgundy. What the coins is...I'm not sure! Just giving you my two cents on what I can see! Rgds, George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
