Juan, Count of Montizon, Carlist claimant to the Spanish throne. A bond for 1000 pesos bearing interest at 5%, in the name of Principe Don Juan de Borbon, London 1861, no.101, being payable upon his being proclaimed King of Spain, black printing in the style of Bank of England note with coat of arms at top, black, together with a brokers letter to the holder suggesting that he hold the piece as it will be a good investment, also dated 1861, about very fine.

Don Juan Carlos de Borbon, was born in 1822 in Madrid, the son of the Infante Carlos of Spain, brother of King Ferdinand VII . Upon the death of his brother in 1834, Carlos claimed the throne of Spain which was passing to his niece Isabella II. The family moved to England in the same year. His brother Carlos Luis became the official Carlist claimant in 1860 but he was forced to abdicate upon his capture in 1861. Juan then became the claimant as Juan III. His liberal views made him a poor candidate for the Carlists and he abdicated in 1868 in favour of his son, another Carlos.
