Aureo sale 261, lot 731

This specimen was lot 731 in Aureo sale 261 (Barcelona, July 2014), where it sold for €400 (about US$642 with buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"1884*1884. Alfonso XII. MSM. 25 pesetas. Bella. Escasa así. EBC+. (Alfonso XII, 1874-85, twenty-five pesetas of 1884. Handsome, scarce thus, choice extremely fine.)"

This type, struck 1881-85, is common enough to sell as a bullion coin but the 1884 is a slightly scarce date. After 1889, Spain struck twenty pesetas on the same module as French twenty francs d'or.

Recorded mintage: 1,033,000.

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