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 (mintmark
M). Confirm the mintmark on your example before comparing prices — same-year issues from different mints often trade at very different levels. - Low mintage: Only 1,000 pieces reported. This puts the issue into key-date territory for its series; expect steep grade-based price scaling and a higher counterfeit risk — provenance and third-party grading matter.
- Gold issue: Gold (.999) — bullion demand competes with numismatic demand. Weight and fineness (not just face value) drive the melt-value floor.
