Overview

A silver-colored coin featuring the profile of Francisco Franco and the eagle coat of arms of the Spanish State.

Historical significance

This coin was issued during the regime of Francisco Franco (Generalissimo). It represents the 'Estado Español' period between the Civil War and the restoration of the monarchy.

Obverse (front)

Head of Francisco Franco facing right. Legend: 'FRANCISCO FRANCO CAUDILLO DE ESPAÑA POR LA G. DE DIOS' and the series date 1957.

Reverse (back)

Eagle of Saint John with the Spanish coat of arms, the denomination '25 PTAS', and a crown.

Estimated value

$0.50 - $2.00 in circulated condition; $5 - $15 in uncirculated grades.

What drives this coin's value

The main value factor is the date inside the tiny six-pointed stars on the reverse; certain star years (like '58' or '59') are more common than others.

Grade assessment

Extremely Fine - About Uncirculated (appears to have strong details but some light surface marks/blurriness).

Mintage & rarity

Common; tens of millions minted depending on the specific star year.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check the edge lettering 'UNA GRANDE LIBRE'. Modern fakes are rare for this common base-metal coin, but check for clear dates in the tiny stars.

Notable varieties & errors

The '1958' and '1959' star dates are most common; later star dates through the 1970s exist for similar types but this copper-nickel 1957 series is the standard type for the era.
