Overview

The coin features a bust of King Juan Carlos I of Spain facing left on the obverse, with the inscription "JUAN CARLOS I REY DE ESPAÑA" and the year of issue "1995". The reverse side, not visible in the provided image, typically depicts the Spanish coat of arms.

Historical significance

This coin was part of the currency of Spain before the introduction of the Euro. Juan Carlos I reigned as King of Spain from 1975 to 2014, playing a crucial role in Spain's transition to democracy after the death of General Franco. The peseta coins from this era represent a period of significant political and economic change in Spain.

Estimated value

While these coins are no longer in circulation, their monetary value is generally low, typically ranging from a few cents to a couple of dollars, depending on their condition and rarity of specific mint marks if any exist for this year and type. Circulated coins are often worth face value (or slightly more as a collectible).

Care & preservation

To preserve the coin's condition, handle it by the edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in a non-PVC coin holder, flip, or album designed for coin storage. Avoid cleaning the coin, as this can often decrease its collector's value, especially if done improperly.
