This image captures a wooden display case filled with a collection of historical medals, seen through a glass pane that reflects an urban street scene. The medals, arranged in six rows, are circular and appear to be made of bronze or brass, set against a dark green felt background. Each medal is held in place by small pins. The medals depict a variety of subjects, primarily monetary portraits of Spanish monarchs and historical figures, as well as coats of arms, allegorical scenes, and significant events in Spanish history. Visible portraits include those of Queen Joanna and King Charles I (Joanna and Charles, Kings of Spain and Indies, 1516-1555), Ferdinand (1808-1833), King Louis I, King Philip V (1700-1724-1746), Amadeo I (King of Spain, 1870-1873), Carlos VII (King of the Spains, 1872-1876), and King Charles I of Spain. Other medals feature designs related to the "Freedom of Commerce of the Spanish Provinces of America," the "First Carlist Wars" and the "Salic Law (May 10, 1713)," and the conquest of Arab kingdoms in Mallorca and Valencia by Jaume I (Count of Barcelona, King of Aragon, 1275). Many medals bear dates and Latin inscriptions indicating regnal periods or historical references. At the bottom of the display, a white label clearly states: "COLECCIÓN DE MEDALLAS RETRATOS MONETARIOS REYES DE ESPAÑA" (Collection of Medals, Monetary Portraits of Kings of Spain). The glass pane reflects the facade of a building with windows and balconies, along with parts of the street and blurred figures of people walking by, indicating an outdoor, daytime setting in an urban environment like Barcelona. The light suggests a clear day, with sunlight creating bright reflections on the glass.
