Collector insights
- Series context: Part of the Non-circulating coins series — collectors typically assemble full-year date runs, so single years within an established series carry demand beyond raw mintage.
- Struck at: Royal Mint of Madrid (Real Casa de la Moneda de Madrid), Spain (1591-date). Confirm the mintmark on your example before comparing prices — same-year issues from different mints often trade at very different levels.
- Precious metal content: Silver (.925) — bullion value provides a price floor, and many circulated examples were melted during the 1979–1980 and post-2010 silver spikes, reducing the surviving population.
- Catalogue reference: Listed as
