Aureo sale 261, lot 729

This specimen was lot 729 in Aureo sale 261 (Barcelona, July 2014), where it sold for €338 (about US$542 with buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"1882*1882. Alfonso XII. MSM. 25 pesetas. Leves golpecitos. Escasa. MBC/MBC+. (Alfonso XII, 1874-85, twenty-five pesetas of 1882. Light nicks, scarce, very fine or better.)"

This type, struck 1881-85, is common enough to sell as a bullion coin but the 1882 is a scarcer date. After 1889, Spain struck twenty pesetas on the same module as French twenty francs d'or.

Recorded mintage: 414,000 (a better date).

Specification: 8.064 g, 0.900 fine gold, .233 troy oz AGW.

Catalog reference: Fr-344, Cayón-17534, KM 687, Cal. 16.
