Abstract

This item analyzes the first coinages ordered by Prince Philip of Spain (future Philip II) after his marriage in 1554 with his aunt Mary I of England. His father the Emperor Charles V had been responsible for this new marriage to the purpose of laying a diplomatic blockade on France, his great enemy; and because his son and heir should not have an inferior status than his wife, he was bestowed with the dukedom of Milan (imperial fief) and the Kingdom of Naples (whose feudal lord was the pope). In this context Prince Philip could coin with these two territories, but using some special characteristics in the intitulation and heraldry of coins, seals and other items, apart from appearing in the English coins of his wife as king consort. This state was maintained till January 1556, when after his father`s abdication Philip became sovereign of every Spanish territory.
