Absolutely beautiful decanter set with faux leather wraps and replica coins of Alfonso XII of Spain. I believe the coins on the cups are of his son who succeeded him on the throne after his death. 

Amber glass decanter and glasses. Faux leather wraps are removable for washing. All in excellent condition.

Decanter measures 10" and cups are 3"

Alfonso XII was the King of Spain from 1874 to 1885 and known as The Peacemaker or El Pacificador. 

From Wikipedia- Coming to the throne at such an early age Alfonso had served no apprenticeship in the art of ruling. Benevolent and sympathetic in disposition, he won the affection of his people by fearlessly visiting districts ravaged by cholera or devastated by earthquake in 1885. His capacity for dealing with his people was considerable, and he never allowed himself to become the instrument of any particular party. During his short reign, peace was established both at home and abroad, finances were well regulated, and the various administrative services were placed on a basis that afterwards enabled Spain to pass through the disastrous war with the United States without the threat of a revolution.
