This specimen was lot 3015 in Aureo y Calicó sale 422 (Barcelona, December 2023), where it sold for 161 € (about US$209 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "1878*1962. Franco. DEM. 10 pesetas. EBC+ [choice extremely fine]." This denomination was struck 1878-79 during the monarchy. It was restruck 1961-62 by the Franco regime, presumably to express nostalgia for the exiled king, who died in 1941. The denomination was revived in 1983 in copper-nickel (KM 827) for Juan Carlos.
