Spain 1853-Ba 8 maravedis

from the Razorback Collection

This is a very late date for this Spanish pre-decimal denomination and from a mint that did not normally strike this denomination. This type was struck at Jubia 1836-50 and at Barcelona (shown here) 1852-58. It varies from the earlier type (KM 512) by the addition of the word "CONST" in the obverse legend.

Recorded mintage: unknown but very scarce.

Specification: copper, 12.10 g, 29.0-29.1 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: Cayón-16741, KM 531.1.
