This Spanish one centimos was part of the third decimal reform of 1870. By the reform of 1870, the revolutionary government adopted the standard of the Latin Monetary Union, where one peseta = one French franc and five pesetas = 25 g of silver, 0.900 fine. The peseta remained in use (tho it ceased to be silver in the 1930's) until the adoption of the euro in 2001. This type was struck 1906 in large numbers and is common in all grades. Another assayer, SM-V, is recorded for the date but is quite rare. This is the first centimo struck since 1870.
