Francisco Franco Caudillo de España

The obverse features the right-facing profile of Francisco Franco with the legend 'FRANCISCO FRANCO CAUDILLO DE ESPAÑA POR LA G. DE DIOS 1966'. It is a large, circulate silver coin with a beaded rim.

This coin was minted during the reign of General Francisco Franco, who ruled Spain from 1939 until his death in 1975. The '1966' date on the obverse is a general series date; the actual year of minting is often struck in tiny numbers inside the stars on the reverse side. It represents the currency system of the Francoist regime before the transition to democracy and the eventual adoption of the Euro.

$15.00 - $25.00 USD (depending on silver spot price and numismatic condition)

Handle by the edges to avoid transferring skin oils to the silver surface. Store in a PVC-free coin flip or archival-quality holder. Do not clean or polish the coin, as this can severely decrease its numismatic value by removing the original patina.
