Spain Coins
The "Peseta" was the official currency of the country from the years 1868 to 2002. It was also used as a de facto currency in Andorra along with the Franc. In 1868, when Spain decided to join the Latin Monetary Union, Peseta was introduced. Spain's coins were changed concerning their denomination, composition, and design from time to time. Also, the country faced severe inflation from the Civil War until the 1990s that affected the currency.
The Spanish coins used a rare dating system from 1868 to 1982 that was sometimes adopted and rejected at certain points. In this type of system, the "authorization date" was found on all Spain coins on the obverse, while the actual minting date was present inside a small six-pointed star depicted on the front or reverse of the coins. In the 1980s, this system was discontinued, and each currency was redesigned.
People fondly collect Spanish coins around the world because of their rarity and high value. Some rare Spain coins include 2000 Spain silver 2000 pesetas, 1869 1 pesetas, and many more.
