Commentary

Cette monnaie a été frappée entre 1873 et 1875.
En 1868, Isabelle II abdique en faveur de son fils, Alphonse XII. Mais, les Cortes prononcent la déchéance de la maison de Bourbon. Le 19 octobre 1868, le ministre des finances du gouvernement provisoire signe le décret de création de la Peseta espagnole. En 20 ans, il s’agit du quatrième système monétaire, mais celui-ci restera en vigueur jusqu’en 2002.
