Overview

The obverse features the portrait of a young King Alfonso XIII facing left, surrounded by the legend 'ALFONSO XIII POR LA G. DE DIOS'. The reverse typically features the Spanish coat of arms.

Historical significance

This coin was minted during the reign of Alfonso XIII, who was the King of Spain from his birth in 1886 until the proclamation of the Second Republic in 1931. Because he was a king from birth, Spanish currency from this era uniquely captures his transition from a 'baby' portrait to a 'cadet' (as seen here) and eventually an adult profile.

Estimated value

$5 - $30 USD (depending on the specific date and wear/condition)

Care & preservation

Store in a PVC-free coin holder or capsule to prevent oxidation. Avoid cleaning or polishing, as this removes the natural patina and significantly reduces the collector value of silver coins.
