100 Pesetas

Brief Description

The coin features the Spanish coat of arms crowned, flanked by the Pillars of Hercules with the motto 'PLUS ULTRA', and the inscription 'CIEN PESETAS' below. The obverse (not visible) typically features a portrait of King Juan Carlos I.

Historical Significance

This coin was part of the currency of Spain during the reign of King Juan Carlos I. The 100 pesetas denomination was a frequently used coin for everyday transactions before Spain adopted the Euro in 2002. The coat of arms represents the history and heraldry of Spain.

Estimated Value

Very low. In worn condition, these coins typically have little to no numismatic value beyond their face value at the time of demonetization or a few cents/pence to a few dollars for uncirculated examples, depending on the specific year and mint mark. This particular coin appears well-circulated and possibly dirty, reducing its value. It's primarily a commemorative item rather than a valuable collectible.

Care Instructions

Do not clean the coin, as this can reduce its numismatic value. Store it in a dry, cool environment, ideally in a non-PVC coin holder or album to prevent further damage from environmental factors or scratching.
